Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There is one principle, and I appreciate, I guess, the remarks that were made by Mr. Kakfwi, unfortunately other Members have not commented on it. I would have hoped that they could give me more detail, as representatives, and other Members, are not on the special committee.
I wanted to ask if you could, at some time, deal with the matter more specifically with Mrs. Marie-Jewell about what it is that you have done to get your own opinion, and I mean legal opinion, on the matter dealing with the rights and the protection relating to women.
I think that despite our own concerns right here it is incumbent upon us to assure the aboriginal women, and women generally, are not being overlooked in the process.
I do want to raise one concern about one of the principles in the Consensus Report that, for me, may raise troubles, and that is with regard to court action relative to treaty definitions, and applications for five years. I raise the point, because I am not sure if there is a concern with regard to aspects of Treaty's 8 or 11, or other treaties across the country, and whether, or not, the restriction in the principles adopted in the Consensus Report may have a bearing on proceeding on treaty court action.
