Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Our mandate commits us to settle and implement treaty land resources and self-government agreements, as well as make progress implementing the United Nations Declarations on the rights of Indigenous people. And, Mr. Speaker, when you look at progress to date, it's hard to see that almost anything at all has been done on these two priorities.
The mandate made an unambitious goal of settling two agreements in the life of this Assembly. To date, we have seen zero agreements. And with the last one being Deline self-government in 2015, it's over seven years since this government has signed an agreement on treaty land resources or self-government. Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, many of the existing agreements are not fully implemented. There are sections, and there are still fights about implementation dollars.
At this point, Mr. Speaker, I would take any progress at all on this. Perhaps, you know, when this was first passed and we saw two agreements, some of us hoped for one of the big three - the Metis, the Akaitcho, or Deh Cho settling, but at this point, Mr. Speaker, I would take a small chapter on governance for a single group or perhaps one of the smaller communities' self-government agreements. I know we recently, in the last Assembly, signed an AIP with Norman Wells. I'm unsure of progress on that.
Even at this point, Mr. Speaker, I would take a group saying, you know, our existing agreement is fully implemented. We believe we have accomplished everything that was originally negotiated, and funding dollars are flowing, because I know many groups would not say that about their current agreements.
Additionally, Mr. Speaker, on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, an action plan was promised for summer 2022. Well, summer 2022 has passed, and we do not have an action plan. Now I know COVID occurred, and I know getting agreement on an action plan is a hard goal. But, Mr. Speaker, I grow concerned that we are going to leave this Assembly with absolutely nothing done to meaningfully implement UNDRIP.
Mr. Speaker, at a very minimum, I would have expected the government to have released by now a view of what they think they are doing that implements each article of the declaration, an analysis of what we are already doing very well and perhaps some areas of improvement. I would have expected legislation that was similar to BC or Canada in this area that binds the government to commit to providing an action plan, yet, Mr. Speaker, at this point, we have nothing to look for. There is no public document about what we are actually doing to implement UNDRIP. What is our interpretation of free, prior, and informed consent? I do not know these. Mr. Speaker, I will have questions for the Premier about whether any progress will be done by this Assembly on either of our main priorities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
