Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Last Friday, the Minister indicated in his statement to the House that there may be grounds for regarding the new legislation as an infringement on section 35 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This is the section of the Canadian Constitution that protects aboriginal rights. Can the Minister indicate what work has been carried out in the Department of Justice to explore the
