Madam Speaker, I listened to the member's speech with great interest.
There was a fair amount of comment on the case that went to the Supreme Court. I point out that its final decision was important from the standpoint that not only did it not find fault with the government, but in a seven to zero decision, the court said that the government had no authority to invest the money in the way it was contemplated by the legal suit.
Indeed, we are trying to modernize this whole regime so first nations can have full benefit of their oil and gas resources. That is why the we wanted to get the legislation through. That is why we have the First Nations Oil and Gas and Moneys Management Act, which will allow first nations to manage their own moneys as well, if they so chose to do that. This has been rather well thought out and we see major progress.
I also add that we have this continuous change process to which this bill commits us.
Does the member agree that the accumulation of various measures represents major progress and addresses the concerns she has expressed in her comments?
