The Greenhouse Gas Strategy and the Heritage Fund, neither are hollow exercises. There was a lot of work done to get the infrastructure, to get the tool in place, the legislation in place. The Heritage Fund will be there. If the Legislative Assembly chooses to identify money to put into the Heritage Fund, then money will be put into the Heritage Fund.
First we have to get the legislation through. It’s not through yet. It’s going to committee. We’re going to bring it in for first and second reading. It will be approved very late in this Assembly, so we have to get that done. Then it will be the decision of this Legislature.
The same for the Greenhouse Gas Strategy. We have to see what all the consultation and feedback is going to tell us, what we’re going to bring forward as recommendations to get accepted both by this Legislature, by Members, by the government. Then
we’ll see how we move forward in a planned, measured way.
The devolution funding that is there is federal money that’s on the table -- $4 million for this government, $3.9 million for the Aboriginal governments -- and that has to be, we have to deal with the federal government for the $4 million. As the Aboriginal governments sign on, they will be dealing with the federal government, as well, on the $3.9 million and how that money will be allocated to those Aboriginal governments.
