I pretty much wanted to make the same comment. There's no point in the minister appearing before us in the middle of negotiations. Agreements need to be signed. Prince Edward Island, Ontario, New Brunswick and the Northwest Territories have already signed one. My understanding is that Nova Scotia will sign one next week. Let's give the agreements a chance to be signed, and then the minister can report to us.
On October 19th, 2017. See this statement in context.
