I think this government has a long history of a very good written relationship with First Nations. Recent efforts to try to move forward are really commendable in terms of some of the leaps and bounds we have made thus far. My hope is there could be greater efforts to at least bring on board the remaining outstanding regions that have unsettled land claims. That’s the Tlicho and Dehcho First Nations.

I understand the Premier has committed to meeting with the Dehcho First Nations. He stated recent offers between DFN and the GNWT have been rejected. I’m inclined to ask why those offers were rejected, but I think from here on I am hoping that dialogue will continue and all efforts will be exhausted to try to bring all parties back to the table and a greater effort in trying to reach some creative solutions.

I know it’s challenging. We’ve been at the table before. It’s ensuring the leaders of the day have clear direction given to their staff and the staff follow up to ensure what the leaders envision as agreements are realized. I’m hoping the few days we have before us will be very construction. Just a comment, but the Premier might want to respond. Mahsi.
