Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I said before, I made some comments before, but one of the things I want to point out, one point I wanted to make, is we are trying to pass an amendment here to give us direction to do something that we are already doing. We have a respectful arrangement and collaboration with our Aboriginal partners. We have bilateral meetings with them. Whether they signed on to the intergovernmental council or not, whether they signed on to devolution or not, we have respectful dialogue with them. We do not always agree with each other, but that makes the partnership a lot stronger. I find it disrespectful that we would want to have a piece of legislation to tell us how we should interact with our Aboriginal partners. We have been partners with the Aboriginal governments for a long time, and they will continue to work on that close partnership long after we are all done in the Assembly, and it happened long before us. I just want to say that we have a respectful arrangement with our Aboriginal partners, and that relationship will continue. We do not need to legislate our agreements with them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
