Thanks, Madam Chair. I'm just trying to plant the seed now because, certainly, I never got to meet a federal Minister in the last Assembly. I had a strong interest in a number of issues but was never invited to meet with federal Ministers. As an example, the leader of the Green Party, and I'm not a member of the Green Party, she came to Yellowknife. I got her in to speak to the Standing Committee on Economic Development and Environment. That's the kind of doors that I think we should look at be opening for each other. I don't want you to just work with the governing party. There are other parties. It's a minority government. It's really important that we're going to work with all the parties that are in Ottawa
I want to move on, though, to a different topic if I can, Madam Chair, and it's about the negotiations with Indigenous governments. I see from the Minister's opening remarks that $495,000 is being sunset, and that was money that was used to access third-party negotiation facilitation services to assist in finalization of self-government agreements. In the last Assembly, there was one initialling of a self-government agreement. That's the only progress that was made in the last Assembly. Were these services actually accessed? Were they used? What was actually accomplished? We only had one agreement in principle in the last Assembly. Thanks, Madam Chair.
