Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the Minister for his indulgence with me in this. In regards to land, commissioner's land and that, in the smaller communities, there seems to be some real struggles about who owns what or what the process is. Is the Minister and the department willing to work with the smaller communities and come up with a plan that will allow elders' lots and that to be paid by the band instead of having individual? Because, right now, the struggle is, what I'm hearing in the smaller communities is, elders cannot afford to pay for the leases and that, and the bands have asked me to ask the question. Is it something that they can work out that the band actually pays for seven people's lots through this process? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
