Cabinet sets policy for this government in terms of what may or may not be looked at. Our department does not have carriage of this particular issue. It is the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs. I am not trying to duck the question, but we do provide legal support for Aboriginal Affairs and we have three lawyers who are dedicated to supporting that process. Again, in terms of political direction based on a legal foundation, MAA has carriage of that issue.
