I just want to make some general comments on the act. On pages 1 and 2 -- I think it's referred to as the preamble

-- I would like to make some comments before we get into more detail on the clauses.

There is a section in the preamble that refers to the physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual aspects of the lives of students. These are key words used to impact the life of a student, but I do not believe the act itself can set the rules in respect of these issues.

Paragraph three goes on to say that education is a partnership between parents, students, educators and government; but in the act, the act tends to set a lot of limitations and restrictions on the development of these aspects for a student. So I just wanted to say that all the partners in education must focus on the development of the student with as much leeway and as much freedom as possible. We can't continue to restrict them and set restrictions and limitations on the system.

The whole area of rights and freedoms of aboriginal people is another area that I'd like to mention. My colleague, Mr. Antoine, mentioned the various clauses that relate to rights, freedoms and languages as set out in the Constitution Act, 1982.

I would like to ask a question and get clarification for the record. Does section 35 of the Constitution Act include all the land claim agreements that have been settled to date?
