Someone mentioned this morning—I think it was Gary Vivian—that ultimately the land claim agreements need to be settled. To us, that's the big thing, and I'll speak briefly to it.
In the early 1970s, we took Canada to court on the question of land ownership, which includes the resource revenues. We won in the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories, where Justice Moreau said that we didn't give up our lands or rights within the treaty process, and that we still had ownership of the land. If you're from B.C., you've heard of the Calder case. It came out the same year. Then, all of the discussion on land claims began.
We're still at the land claims table, since 1973, so it's way overdue. We need to settle this. If we own the land, then let's come to terms with that. We're not about to chase anyone out. We want to settle that, be understood, organize this government, and work with industry and everyone else.
I don't think industry cares who owns the land. They just want to know what the rules are to do the things they're talking about. If we're able to do that quickly, then we can make a lot of progress.
