Mr. Chairman, I think it is important to put it up front. When we talked about the inherent right, I think people started to realize that you cannot put pre-conditions on this right. Provinces and federal government, and territorial government representatives have no business to start telling aboriginal people, okay you can have your own government, it can be a third order of government, but only if you provide all of these, and meet all of these terms and conditions.
It is a contradiction. So, while on one hand, everybody was perhaps in a bit of a fright, you might say that, what is this inherent right, what is this third order of government going to look like. Will it respect individual rights? Will it accept the criminal code? Will it operate with common currency with the rest of Canada? Will it be, using forms of government, making decisions that are against and not in the tradition of Canada, as some noted politicians made a point of?
The fact is we do not know, but as one aboriginal person I have full faith in our people to know what is good for ourselves. The aboriginal people, including the women, will just have to work together to make sure that the systems we put together, is the best. I do not know why the Member is having such difficulty with clear questions.
