It gives me special pleasure today to be address this graduating class, composed of individuals who have chosen a very noble purpose, that of early childhood education."

Bill 42 is the legislation that will implement the Agreement on Governance in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory concluded between the Crees of Eeyou Istchee and the Gouvernement du Québec on July 24, 2012. As such, it is legislation of fundamental importance, for it will define a new partnership in governance between the Cree Nation of Eeyou Istchee, our neighbours, the Jamésiens, the Gouvernement du Québec and all Québeckers.
For the first time, this legislation will bring the Cree and the Jamésiens together in a real governance partnership. This partnership will benefit the Cree, the Jamésiens and all Québeckers for generations to come. It will help to realize the vision of the James Bay and Northern Québec Agreement and the Paix des Braves. It will help to realize the promise of northern development. It will serve as a model, not just for Québec, but for all of Canada and beyond.
