Okay, Mr. Chairman, perhaps I should have made the point that the five year delay in just what the Member might be referring to. I understand that to apply only to the right to self-government, that there is a political agreement, that following these amendments being put in place in the Constitution, none of the aboriginal people will be able to take any governments to court, as a result of the inherent right, for five years. That allows for ample time for negotiations to take place, and that was agreed to.

As far as the treaties are concerned, those documents are constitutional documents, and regarding the aboriginal people, and the federal government for that matter, there is no impediment on their access to courts to rectify, clarify, or take action, for or against, treaties at this time.

In fact, as I said earlier, this section of the proposed constitutional amendment will enhance, and I think instruct, the courts of Canada to take a certain approach to the treaties. Thank you.
