Mr. Speaker, again, in regard to my Member’s statement and also the quote I just read where basically it says that there has to be a fundamental agreement on any changes, my fear is that the government seems to have its mind already made up that they’re going to go ahead full speed and make these changes without full consultation with the affected land claims and, more importantly, the affected treaty rights.

So I’d like to ask the Premier, what is the government’s position on inclusion of the aboriginal groups who are going to be affected by this change to ensure that they’re full participants...

What is the wish of the committee? Mrs. Groenewegen.

The motion is in order. To the motion. Mr. Hawkins.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize my old boss Gary Bohnet, who used to be the president of the NWT Metis Association. I was his vice-president. So it’s good to see the boss up there in his position. Thank you.

There is a motion on the floor. The motion is in order. To the motion.

Okay, with that, we’ll deal with Committee Report 1-16(5). Mr. Hawkins.

Mr. Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.
