I don't understand. I would hope that someone on the government side, such as the parliamentary secretary, might explain when it comes his turn to question. If it says in the Department of Finance annual performance report that the department works with aboriginal governments to negotiate tax treatment agreements, then I do not understand why, up until now, neither the Minister of Finance nor the Prime Minister has responded.
I hope the parliamentary secretary will cast light on that, unless you, Grand Chief, have a theory as to why we have had no response.
