Thank you, Madam Chair. There are a few questions in there. For one, we are trying to do this differently. I've already met with Carolyn Bennett and told her that she needs to come to the table, as well. Instead of just negotiators, we need to actually have the leaders at the table sometimes. I think I caught her off-guard; she didn't give me a solid commitment, but it's a start. I mean, I realize that people have to be kind of talked to a few times.
The core principles, I mean, that is something that I would have to give more thought to. They're basic principles like, for example, an income support. You know, everybody has a right to, I can't remember them, but they're very basic principles on people's rights. I would love to be able to say, "Throw them out the window." The reality is there are three people at the table, not just ourselves, the GNWT and Indigenous governments; there is the federal government. They have principles that we have to abide by, for example, the principles on health. They just brought out the Child and Family Services Act. They're looking at that. That has core principles in it. So we can't just say that we're going to throw them out at this table here and not recognize that there are principles across Canada that we have to abide by, as well.
However, I think it's a discussion that we should be able to negotiate and talk about. Like I said, the NWT core principles, it's only a little, tiny booklet. It's probably one of the smallest things I've read since I've been a Premier. They're very basic. They're not huge. They're more like a human rights thing, so I think it's an item for discussion, but I can't commit that we would throw them off when there is more than just one party at the table. Thank you, Madam Chair.
