Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our guests here today. It feels weird to say that, as we're up in your territory.
First off, I would like to go after some comments we had at our last meeting from the chair of the tribunal for specific claims. He said, to some effect, that specific claims are more of a justice issue than a programming issue, and that INAC was set up to deliver the programs that were agreed upon within the treaties. So we have an organization that's really good at delivering programs and isn't necessarily very good at doing justice issues. He argued that land claims are a justice issue, not a programming issue.
I guess what it comes down to is that justice is difficult in that from a judge's point of view, you cannot enact justice. You can only judge on whether something is being just or is not being just....
He's shaking his head on that.
I'd be happy to have a rebuttal to that, to some degree.
