My understanding is that this could then go to tribunal. I believe that, in recent months, the specific claims branch has been talking about coming up with a different process, but again, I think it would have to go back to being legislated, because right now the mechanism.... I could be speaking out of turn, so I apologize if I don't have my understanding of that part of the policy 100% on point, but I don't believe there is much avenue for a first nation to refute that.
A lot of the feedback I am hearing from our communities is that, before any valuation offer is made, we should be going right to a negotiation table as soon as outstanding legal obligation is found on the part of Canada. Until you actually have the opportunity to speak and discuss what Canada is finding, why they're coming up with that valuation, and what it actually means in practical terms to the first nation.... You heard a couple of the other communities say that Canada needs to come and put boots on the ground in the communities to actually see the impact of those claims, because they're coming back as very nominal issues, when in actuality you have communities that are divided by highways, industrial development, or whatever other options. The NNTC representatives spoke about the railroads this morning. You don't understand those impacts on a community until you're there, boots on the ground, and can see them. It's the same for our community. You don't understand the impact those changes and rulings have.
