We're saying constitutional invalidities because this seems to be an end run around something that should be done a certain way--and I think all of you are acquainted with the certain ways.
We have crown treaties, the 1760 Treaty of Oswegatchie, recognized by the Supreme Court in Sioui, and we've also got the Great Peace of Montreal, the treaty signed in 1701. We've got many treaties. These treaties speak to protection of our lands, and these were incorporated. The language is a lot similar when you come to 1867 and the royal proclamation. They're similar in that they say in order for lands to be alienated there's a certain requirement. Suddenly it's as though everybody is blind to this and now it can be done simply through Bill C-30. That doesn't make sense to me.
On another matter, if I might just add, you were talking about consultation. Just recently, last week I think it was, you signed the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
