Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Are the negotiations at the point of being too rigid with no flexibility to negotiate? Especially with changing the institutions that we have in place now. Many of the government programs and services do not seem to be working. We are having problems in funding our institutions; education, health care, and social costs.

Are the aboriginal organizations able to change the existing infrastructures that we have to reflect the aboriginals' needs for the way they want to implement these programs? Are they able to go that far?
