I'll respond briefly in terms of the expert panel's expectations in 2006. I think we recognized in those nine meetings across Canada, and in the 100-plus submissions, that this was not a homogeneous problem. There's a lot of diversity among first nations in Canada, a lot of different views. The challenge in coming up with federal legislation on this topic is, how do you accommodate all of that diversity?
The way I see Bill S-8 is that, essentially, it's only enabling legislation. The test would be in how it's implemented.
I think it is fair criticism that there are no financial obligations associated with Bill S-8. From my point of view—I'm not speaking for the panel here—I would like to see commitment to the operational training part. From all the experience I've had, my view is that's the most critical element.
