 Hello, I'm Aida Chong, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and the MLA for a Big Ordinary Head. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy holiday season and I hope you all get some time over the holidays relaxing with family and friends. It's an honor for me to be ending this year as BC's new Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. Over the past few months, I have had the pleasure of meeting with BC Aboriginal leaders and visiting communities in support of the work our BC government is doing to provide new opportunities for First Nations and non-First Nations communities all across the province. This has been a great year for our ministry and we have accomplished so much towards our goal of signing 10 new non-treaty agreements with First Nations by 2015 in support of the Canada Starts Here, the BC Jobs Plan. From our partnerships with the Heislin Nation and the Cascade DNA in BC's northwest to the Fort Nelson First Nation in the northeast to the Talopuit on Vancouver Island, we are reaching agreements that bring benefits more quickly to First Nations communities and help them to build their economic strength. As we head into 2013, I look forward to another year of great successes and new opportunities. And so I want to wish all of you a very happy holiday season.
