As an Individual
I think it is addressing the proposition that though in a broad sense the crown may be in a fiduciary relationship with aboriginal peoples, it is only certain aspects of that relationship that give rise to fiduciary duties, notably where the crown is dealing with reserve land or the proceeds from the sale of reserve land, or other moneys of a band, for example. That's the fiduciary duty writ large, and enforceable in the courts.

Thank you, Mr. Duncan.
Thank you, Mr. McCabe, for giving us your time here today on a very intricate topic, critical to the kinds of issues that come before this committee.
Committee members, there are a couple of very short items that we need to dispense with before we adjourn. The first is going back to Ms. Crowder's comments earlier in the meeting. We are now in receipt of a motion from her. I'm going to read that into the record. We will not deal with this item today. We will make room on the agenda for Thursday, but I'll read it into the record so you can look at it before we have this discussion on Thursday. It reads as follows:
That the Committee has considered the 2008-2009 report of the Office of the Correctional Investigator and its supplement entitled “Good Intentions, Disappointing Results“ and recommends the implementation of the Correctional Investigator's recommendations, and that the adoption of this motion be reported to the House.
That is deemed received and we will discuss it on Thursday.
There are two other short items.
For Thursday, the minister was unable, in the short period of time that we had, to make time available for the consideration of the supplementary estimates (B), so we will have officials to report, as the committee requested. We wanted to consider those estimates, and we will do that on Thursday. The witness that had been arranged for Thursday will be pushed off to a later time. That will be on Thursday. I won't say what room because I don't know it at this point.
Finally, the subcommittee met this morning and has recommended that the December 10 meeting be cancelled so that members have the opportunity on Thursday to attend a portion of the special chiefs assembly here in Ottawa. The Assembly of First Nations is here in Ottawa next week, and their last day is on Thursday morning going through to midday. That will give members an opportunity to attend on December 10, next Thursday.
That's all we have for business of the committee today.
Thank you again, Mr. McCabe.
The meeting is adjourned.
