Mr. Speaker, there has been a lot of work done over the last 20 years. I think until a year ago, we had made a considerable amount of progress up to July 2005, in fact to the point where the aboriginal leaders were going to recommend or the negotiators were going to recommend to their leaders acceptance of an agreement-in-principle on devolution. That took us to the six issues. Mr. Speaker, I don't think the federal government should start from a clean slate. I think there is a lot of work out there that's been done and I think they should start with that. My recommendation to both Minister Prentice and to Mr. Andre is let's start with those six outstanding issues and get them resolved and that will bring us very close to an agreement-in-principle. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
