Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Premier, I have to rebut some of his remarks, although I did in my introductory remarks so I won’t go into too much detail here. Again, he talked about Bill C-15 and so on. Again, some of his remarks, unfortunately, were not relevant. A number of half-truths; again, they’re interpretations, and I think I addressed those in my earlier remarks.
I think, just to get to the chase here, bringing forward the crystal clear voices of our public is what this motion is really all about. The issue is our residents have decried the loss of the regional boards and we are in a position to work with them to help mitigate the impacts. The motion proposes that this government sits down with our Aboriginal partners, and in a transparent way, to see if there are opportunities for collaborative action to capture the benefits that the regional boards have developed. We happen to have a focus on water, a focus on land, a focus on resources and on Aboriginal governments, so the opportunity is huge.
Let’s free the shackles and have the Premier consider freeing the shackles on our Cabinet colleagues here and allow them to vote freely. I certainly want to thank my colleagues again for a good debate here, and I would ask for a recorded vote.
