Mr. Speaker, clearly, any partnership that is done in mutual co-operation is to be both awarded and congratulated.
Having built some of those partnerships in my past career, particularly in the research field, it has, unfortunately, been the case in the past, particularly with aboriginal peoples, that those partnerships have not been equal. In fact, they have been exploited.
The only thing I would add is that I would hope that, on the seven new initiatives, the government will actually take the principle of reciprocity seriously.
