Thank you, Madam Chair. This work is not being done alone. The Member is right; we need to do this with our Indigenous governments. This work has been at the intergovernmental council table that all Indigenous governments who have signed on to devolution are part of, and it's still open to other Indigenous governments who wish to sign on. This will not be a unilateral decision based on the GNWT.

I heard the Member's concerns about making sure that it is communicated properly. Out of respect for the Indigenous governments that sit at the intergovernmental council, Madam Chair, I will bring the Member's concerns to the table. I have stated at that table that the Government of the Northwest Territories is one seat at that table. We are no longer the controller; we are one seat, one member. Because I have made that commitment to the intergovernmental council, it would be inappropriate for me to sit here, Madam Chair, and make commitments on behalf of them without their permission. It would be totally hypocritical of me. What I can commit to, though, is to bring the concerns about the need for communications, because I agree that we should be communicating better, to the intergovernmental council and take their feedback on how we should be communicating. Thank you, Madam Chair.
