Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a very difficult question to answer. Again, I'm not trying to be evasive. I have met on three occasions with Treaty 8 representatives and have encouraged them to be participants in this process. They view their relationship with the federal government differently than claimant groups with claims. It would be difficult for me to say whether they are onside or not onside. I know they've come to the meetings in an observer status and I've certainly appreciated that and I've extended my appreciation to them for that.
They're attending the meetings as observers, which I'm encouraged by. They've made it clear to us that they have a special relationship with the federal government which they don't want the accord to encumber. So it's very delicate. We're trying to find a delicate balance in the language of the accord that will one, satisfy this public government; and, two, not impinge upon the negotiations that are under way with the federal government. I guess that would be the best way to explain it. Thank you.
