I have seen those legal opinions, or one of the legal opinions, and it is very weak at best. I think what we have here is a lack of political will by the Minister to deal with this issue. Unfortunately, the chiefs and councils and aboriginal leaders may have to get involved at this level. I was hoping we could avoid that and deal with it.
I would like to ask the Minister, how often, in his knowledge, does the federal Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs get involved in deals that are made that are considered a private agreement between industry and private individuals or organizations, as the Minister had put it in answering my questions and the questions in the House? To his knowledge, how often does the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs from the federal government get involved with private deals at this level? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
