I wanted to ask you about two specific things. The first one is about the concept of terra nullius. I'm a former resident of Australia and in Australia the land process was to actively use the doctrine of terra nullius. The doctrine says the land in question is effectively uninhabited territory, that there is nobody with whom we are attempting to work out any kinds of relations, treaty or otherwise. This is a doctrine traditionally applied to completely uninhabited lands. You arrive in a place and there's nobody there, as was the case when Europeans came to Iceland and found it empty.
My understanding is that in Canada we have not actually used the doctrine of terra nullius and that what happened in Australia was a departure from the traditional British practice. Am I incorrect in my understanding of history?
