Thank you.
The more I delve into this subject, the more I realize how difficult this is for first nations across the country. We've heard testimony from the department that they have 36 people in their land department in Ottawa dealing with issues for 650 reserves on all manner of things that are very complex. I spent a good deal of time in municipal government with land issues, and I know how significant they can be. I know it's going to be different on reserve land, because you still have a collective principle that I think is apparent in most reserves.
How would you characterize that situation in terms of how a land officer deals with situations? When we deal with land ownership, tenure, division of land, and land management in a municipal setting, we're dealing with private land or public land. But in a reserve setting, there's so much collective land.
How does that difference affect your ability to train people to tie that principle into law in different provinces? What's the experience there?
