Did we have conversations with the ministry regarding the finance piece? They're going to begin formally tomorrow. We had a co-development process, and we all had reps around the co-development table.
The gentleman to my right has a lot of experience in co-developing federal legislation, going back to the specific claims tribunal. He's fluent in Ojibway. He has that experience; he's legal counsel. Roger is going to be our rep from AFN.
It's formally going to start tomorrow on the financing pieces. This is the important piece of work now. We don't stop just because the legislation's been co-developed. You have to co-develop the implementation processes and mechanisms as well, even getting down to the details in terms of the financing that's required every fiscal year. We call that very important man Soniyaw Okimaw. Some of you will know what that means: the big money chief. That's Bill Morneau. Right now, he's the one who's very important for every federal department, including Minister Rodriguez's, in terms of what's put in to that department for this area.
That's how we want to work it with the details and putting those plans in place, but we recognize that every fiscal year there's a federal budget, and we have to influence that every cycle.
