Abstain.

Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, recognizing that the GNWT does stand with the Indigenous governments on the actions with this, my understanding is the Dene Nation has taken the lead in this work. And I will make a commitment that I will reach out to the leader of the Dene Nation, Grand Chief I believe, to be able to see what kind of assistance that he needs from the GNWT. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Actually I do believe that within the agreements, there is a clause that states that they can be reviewed and updated as necessary. There is a commitment to that. Again, Mr. Speaker, though, in recognizing that I am willing to work with Indigenous governments, but really, the priority, Mr. Speaker, is to try to get all Indigenous governments into a place where they have land claims that are settled and selfagreement selfgoverning agreements that are settled so that they do take their rightful place at the table. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Absolutely, within the United Nations Declaration of Indigenous People, which is a priority of this government, there is a recognition of Modern Treaties and selfgovernment agreements, and so I will continue to uphold that agreement. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

In favour.

Abstain.

Mr. Speaker, I wish to table the following document, Emerging Stronger: Planning the Northwest Territories's Social and Economic Recovery Together, June 2022 Update. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Although I heard three questions in there, I think all of them belong to the Minister of Health. I'd like to defer it to the Minister of Health. Thank you.

In favour.
