Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The process now is we have a draft AIP that has been sent back by the negotiators to the principals. An additional letter has gone out to the aboriginal organizations seeking their input if they want to continue on with the process of being involved in the final set of negotiations. We are going to await

that response. In the work that’s gone on before, as I stated earlier, if we go to the previous Assembly, in fact four of the aboriginal groups signed on to a draft agreement at that point and had sent it in. So throughout the years many have been involved in the negotiations.

Up until this point, this Assembly has not signed any agreement. We are going to take in the comments, wait for the response from the aboriginal organizations. As I said to Members of this Assembly earlier, we will seek input from Members before a decision is made on how we proceed. Thank you.
