Certainly.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, we did note that in areas where there was no land claim settlement, there were a considerable number of applications referred to the crown for additional consultation, which I think reflected the fact that aboriginal groups did not feel that they had been properly consulted. We compared that with areas where there had been a land claim settled, and we found that in none of those cases did they have to be further referred for consultation. In the course of our work, we did notice that imbalance in the amount of additional consultation that aboriginal groups sought after the fact.
