Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The recent rejection of Canada’s bid for a temporary seat on the UN Security Council speaks volumes on the world’s verdict on Canada’s devotion to fundamental principles; tar sands to refusal for the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and so on. We could look to the IGR, the interim government response to the Joint Review Panel as to why Northerners might say no to the GNWT. So there’s still time to demonstrate responsible action here.

So my question -- Mr. Speaker, this may be the way the Government of Canada does business, but not us, hopefully -- before signing this AIP, will the Premier commit to refusing any devolution deal that does not meet this government’s commitments for inclusion of aboriginal peoples and commitment to economically, socially and environmentally sustainable development? Thank you.
