Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not recall any treaty being signed in 1927, so I think the Minister needs to get that straight. In an impact benefit agreement, companies provide monies to aboriginal groups in recognition of the company's impact on a group's traditional homeland. I have no doubt that a group would not receive such money unless they were federally recognized as being the original inhabitants of the land. I would like to ask the Minister, what is the relationship between land claims and why is the relationship between land claims and IBA's recognized by the department's policies?
