Mr. Chair, it is my intention to pay the money to the regional aboriginal organizations in any case. I would like to have the federal government approach it the same way we do and let the regional organizations determine themselves the extent to which they participate in the summit; or if they want to have some other kind of forum, let them choose their own organization rather than us dictating it to them. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
