No, but I mean you can look at it from his perspective of how important this economy is to each first nation that has signed on. I will never take away anything, in that context, from the way they feel and how they want to conduct their way of life.
I think, however, that if you truly look at that statement, you should look deeper. Look at these communities, the first nations across the country, and see how isolated they all are and how everything for them becomes 10 times harder because of the situations the Europeans have placed them in and placed on these reserves, and how confined they are, and how restricted they are in trying to generate a way of life for their being. They can no longer live the life they at one time did, and not every community have the opportunity to generate an economy because of their location and what surrounds them.
I can truly see the importance to them, but what are we trying to achieve here? It's about the protection of the environment and how we're going to do it. I appreciate the challenge you're faced with, because you have to look at all those components and analyze the whole to come up with the right decisions. I don't envy you one bit.
