Thank you, Mr. Chair. I believe that all of the Metis in Canada and in the Northwest Territories were very happy to see the Daniels court ruling. Our expectation would be that we are doing all of those things. If anything, we would expect the federal government to reimburse our government for expenditures on Metis health benefits, but that remains to be seen. The federal government, our understanding from Justice and our Aboriginal Affairs people is the Government of Canada will review it. They have no avenue to appeal, but they would look at how they would incorporate it. On the land claim side, we think that certainly for those Metis who have land claims tabled, that this will allow their land claim to be incorporated into the Constitution as opposed to it only being done by contract, as what was being proposed. Through you, Mr. Chair, I'll ask Deputy Goldney to go into more of the legal technicalities of it. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
