Thank you for that information. Obviously this has been referred to as constitutional development behind closed doors and clearly it is. So what I’m trying to get at is how the public and Regular Members can participate in this governance council and perhaps you’ll have a toolbar in your tool kit I could borrow, Mr. Chair.

We do know, indeed, that Aboriginal governments and Aboriginal people have legal means with

respect to consultation and this government has chosen to not quite ignore, but almost ignore those that don’t have Aboriginal and treaty rights in terms of meaningful consultation. Here we have another construct that I know there was a lot of public concern about how people and their representatives will have input into this council. So, we have people that have a legal assurance of consultation and those that don’t. We have a construct made in secrecy behind closed doors and what we’re looking for is transparency, a democratic opportunity for participation.

I’m sure we’ll have the opportunity to debate this with development of legislation, I hope. That has not always proven to be the case here this session, but can the Premier assure us, can the Minister assure us that these opportunities and mechanisms will be provided for in the development in the operations of this council? Thank you.
