Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to thank MLA Vanthuyne for actually for bringing that point forward. You're right. The actual polytechnic university might take some years, but it's important to note that we're also building on the Aurora College, so it's not starting from scratch. Right now, the president is the president of Aurora College
When we were doing our travelling, when I was taking the new associate deputy minister of post-secondary renewal to the three campus communities, we met with Indigenous and municipal governments, and it was brought very clearly by Indigenous governments that they were interested in some kind of a leadership support to support them in governance of their own governments. I know that Municipal and Community Affairs provides that for municipal governments, but not so much for the Indigenous governments.
When we're doing this vision statement, we've been looking at strengths to the North. I think that Indigenous governments are a strength to the North. I think our population is a strength to the North. It makes sense for me to actually promote that we would have some form of leadership courses within the polytechnic university or Aurora College as it is now to start off. I am a huge supporter of this motion. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
