I'll just say this very quickly and I'll let Kevin answer too. I think what you can do is study our implementation of our final agreements. This committee should be doing that.
Surprisingly enough, when we go to lobby and talk with different MPs and different parties, not many people know about what is in the final agreements. There are only 26 or 28 of them in Canada. It seems as though the focus of the federal government is always on the Indian Act bands and never on the proper implementation of our final agreements.
One thing we all agree on, I think—Canada and the rest of the first nations—is that we want to move forward. We have these agreements to do that. I believe Canada would like to see first nations actually negotiate a final agreement and get on the road to self-sufficiency. This new fiscal policy takes us backwards. We shouldn't go there. As you said, let's learn from our mistakes.
