Thank you. Perhaps I could ask our legal person what this all means. The way I read it, it is empowering the hamlet council to administer all lands within municipal boundaries, to give or to sell them, and also get rid of them. What happens to the band councils, in this case, that administer lands reserved for Indians? Are we taking away lands reserved for Indians and, in place, empowering hamlet councils to start administering, and for that matter, undermining band councils, in order to achieve their own control over lands?
