Mr. Lemay, that's not really relevant to the estimates that we're studying. If you wish to speak to the minister privately on that question, you can do so.

We're at the point now where we need to deal with the votes here.
I want to thank the witnesses and the minister for being with us today. We do appreciate your taking the time, Mr. Minister, for the answers to the questions. Obviously your department is working hard to resolve some of the issues facing our first nations communities.
