Thank you, Mr. Chair. While this certainly still remains a live issue as self-government negotiations are underway and, as the Premier mentioned, we certainly support Aboriginal governments in advocating for funding arrangements that make sense and will enable the vision of Aboriginal governments to be fully implemented, that still remains our objective and our goal. Much of course depends on our federal negotiating partner, who is currently undertaking a fiscal harmonization review and policy approach. We don’t have the final results of that review, but we are very, very mindful of that and still, of course, advocate quite strongly that whatever is negotiated should be capable of being implemented properly.
