Mr. Chairman, although the act is straightforward and deals with the whole legal issue of who gives the directive to the municipalities or authority in order for them to operate and charge fees to quarries, part of my presentation dealt with aboriginal claimant groups. I would like to satisfy my own constituency and perhaps even the constituencies of people who don't have land claims, and question whether the whole issue of lands, the ownership of land and what is on it, has been addressed. Has the department dealt with what happens to areas in which lands are still in dispute and have never been surrendered by way of land claims? Do you have legal opinions on that?
