First I'll go to Mr. Campbell.

You were talking earlier about the gaps with respect to environmental regulations. I noticed when I read through your paper today that until the 1980s all land management under first nation reserves was exclusively the responsibility of the federal government, but that some have opted out, through programs such as first nations land management and self-government and perhaps some other modern treaties.

Is it fair to say that any gaps that exist have existed for a long time on reserve?
