The protocol in the mandate was directed by Cabinet to this Minister to develop. This is quite an important guideline that has been developed for self-government. Talking to the different representatives of different First Nation organizations, some of the wording is okay, but a lot of them have great concerns that the implications of this protocol coming from this government without the involvement of the First Nations, initially, it sets parameters before they even get to the table. That is one view the group I represent, the Deh Cho, have. It might put restrictions on them even before they get to the table. That is a problem, too. In developing this protocol, was the federal government involved in the development of the protocol and guidelines? Thank you.
