We are a very big promoter of sectoral self-government agreements. It comes first with a lot of unity and a united front amongst the collective who are willing to work together. Remember, when the MK discussion started in 1992, it was with all 13 communities here in Nova Scotia. At the time when we negotiated the agreement, nine communities were ready. I'm very proud that we're a 12-community member collective today. That didn't stop us early on in 1997. We were respectful of the readiness that needed to happen for the other communities.
For us, the 10-year agreement of course offers a lot of time to get things done, rather than, by the time you implement the agreement in year one, already needing to go into negotiations to set up the next agreement by year two or three. We've done a lot of presentations across the country for sectoral self-government agreements. It appears that a lot of communities are going through the REA route, the regional educational agreement route. It's not that different, but it's not quite the same. We're obviously just a step above, promoting the REAs into more of a sectoral agreement.
