Thank you for the question.
Absolutely we'd share that view. It's clear that for most first nations people in Canada there is a treaty relationship between the Crown and first nations. There are also places in Canada where there is no treaty, and right now they're in a treaty-making process. What I think we've said to each other here in Canada is that's representative of our relationship; it's representative of how we've chosen to live together here; it's how we contracted each other; it's how we have mutual obligations to each other. And as you indicated, those things are forever. It's part of the foundations of this country.
And now we also see on the government agenda something we find really interesting. We're talking about fiscal imbalance. A lot of people think fiscal imbalance is only about the federal and provincial governments. We're arguing we have a role in fiscal imbalance.
Some people have talked about it as revisiting 1867. We want to be at the table because we want to revisit 1867. We're part of the fiscal federation. Our treaties are part of that; our people are part of that, and we want to be involved in those discussions as well.
