There was a review that was done for, at the time, the Minister of Indian Affairs, which was completed in 2009, and headed up by Mr. McCrank on northern regulatory process. The vast bulk of that was focused on the Northwest Territories, so I will not comment on that.
In terms of Nunavut, he basically thought the Nunavut system was working reasonably well. He did recommend amendments to the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement that in fact happened prior to his report being published. He also recommended the enactment of legislation that is being developed now, and the clarification of....
Yes, one of the issues he recommended that required the amendment of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement was to clarify the responsibilities of the Nunavut Impact Review Board as against the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. That certainly happened, or the legislation I guess will happen soon, we hope.
I guess a lot of the problem here is the time that it has taken from when things get decided to when they get implemented. The Nunavut general monitoring program should have been done not long after the agreement was started, but it's 2010 before it gets going. Even with what are called IPGs, institutions of public government, basically the impact review boards—Mr. Kunuk referred to the fact that there were recommendations by a conciliator, Thomas Berger, on closing the gap and agreeing on funding for these boards. I think the agreement was actually reached on the amounts of money in 2006, but it's 2008 before it begins to flow.
There are just generally problems of lag and delay. So, yes, it's true, as the minister said, things are happening, but things are happening that should have happened years ago, and there are other things that should be happening that aren't happening.
