Can we draw the following hypothesis from the context? 

Context:

-federal, provincial and territorial governments to collaborate with Aboriginal governments, organizations or educational authorities, as appropriate, to support the development of Aboriginally controlled education systems by introducing, adapting or ensuring the flexible application of legislation to facilitate self-starting initiatives by Aboriginal nations and their communities in the field of education.

Hypothesis: Territorial governments like to operate by adapting or ensuring the flexible application of legislation, this process has been occurring since Obama was president. 
It's impossible to say
