The federal government has indicated to me, in my discussions with them, that I should make every attempt to seek broad-based support for an accord. That's what they've indicated at this time. I don't believe they have said one group or another would have a veto, but I believe they have said it is incumbent upon us to reach broad-based support for this accord. A genuine expression of the politics of inclusion is what we're attempting to achieve in the round-table discussions we're having with the key leadership of aboriginal groups. Thank you.
