Thank you, Mr. Chair. The Minister is quite correct. In the areas that have settled land claim agreements, people who hold equity leases and are in compliance with their lease can apply to have fee simple title. As we speak, there is work happening, and people are getting title. It is fairly straightforward in the settled land claim regions where the lease holder is in compliance and has no arrears.

As usual, the unsettled land claim regions are very complicated. There are even areas where it is land lease only policy. There are land withdrawals that each Aboriginal government who are negotiating have, including the Metis Nation, and there are also people who are Members of the land claim organizations who are negotiating who do not want their lease converted. They want to wait for their claim to settle, and those lands reflected then become settlement lands. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
