Member’s Statement on Self-Government Initiatives in the Sahtu

Today I rise in the House here to discuss the self-government initiatives undertaken within the Sahtu region, more importantly and more specifically we, the first government, here will see the first community-based and self-government initiative this fiscal year in a few months to come: the Deline self-government agreement. I would like to congratulate the previous government and the previous parties to that initiative and later I'll have questions to the responsible minister on pre-implementation planning which is important to any agreement on the implementation side of things. Mr. Speaker, I'll have questions to the other remaining communities on their self-government initiatives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
