For third party development, we've had quarries on land that's never been surrendered by the crown. Non-Indians have made hundreds of thousands of dollars by extinguishing our mineral rights, which have never been surrendered by the crown. The crown has been aware of it. We've objected to it, and the crown has failed to act. There's also a lot of residential property. The current Indian Act has many instruments through which non-Indians use Indian land. There are leases, cottage leases, and permits. There are plenty of instruments that accommodate third parties under the existing legislation, but they prefer to use the land for nothing and keep us waiting for justice and a resolution.
We've always worked very well with our neighbouring municipalities. As Chief Hill has mentioned, it's very important to first nations to generate revenue streams to meet the needs of a growing community. Canada continues to pass legislation to correct injustice toward native women by adding members to our base without adding extra financial resources to accommodate their needs or an adequate land base.
