Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Mark. It's good to see you again. I should share with the group that I saw Mark at the graduation ceremonies on Saturday in Hope. I was surprised. He was a long way from here, and he was there within 24 hours. Regarding the violence, I don't appreciate that sort of language.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, we look forward to the opportunity of building a dispute resolution with the Stó:lo when we set up this proposed working group. Do you have a comment on the dispute resolution, Mr. Reiter?

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, that's in the handouts I provided. We have a real minor agreement that is not binding. It's based on friendship and respect. The people from several Stó:lo communities have approached me about fishing in the Fraser Canyon on Yale land. We've signed off on a real minor agreement, a memorandum of understanding.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  It's going to be a challenge, sure, but we're looking forward to that. Take the fishery, for example. Back home we're really involved in the fishery, and we believe we could implement the fishery part with no problem, as with the finance. The young fellow in the office is very capable and we're working with a large firm to help him along as needed.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Oh boy. For me it would be very difficult to answer that, but Robert Reiter has an answer.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Minister, members of Parliament, support staff, and other parliamentarians, thank you for this opportunity to speak to you at committee. I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to study Bill C-62, the Yale First Nation treaty bill. It's been 17 years in the making, a long and expensive negotiation with Canada and British Columbia through the B.C.
