Yeah, thanks, Madam Chair. I fully understand that COVID has delayed some of the negotiations, but I'm very worried that we're going to end up in the same boat that the last Assembly was in where the Premier of the day promised that all the outstanding negotiations would be settled. And at the end, all we got was one agreement-in-principle on self-government in Norman Wells, in four years. And that was from, you know, when we didn't have a pandemic, whatever. I just never understood why -- what was happening. Nothing was happening. And I continue to hear from negotiators that the real problem was no longer the federal government; it was the GNWT that was the problem.
The negotiators didn't have any authority. They didn't have a clear mandate. They have to go back to Cabinet every time they wanted -- had to move outside of anything. It was just not good news, and nothing really got done, quite frankly, in the last Assembly on that file in particular. So I'm really hoping we're going to get a different outcome but everything I've seen so far is that it's not going to be much different.
Can the Premier tell us whether any of the negotiating mandates for any of the tables have been adjusted in any way since the beginning of this Assembly? Thanks, Madam Chair.
