Absolutely. I met with both first nations several weeks before we signed the Nunavut devolution agreement. I committed to them that they will be treated fairly all the way through the process and that nothing in the Nunavut devolution agreement deviates or takes away from their section 35 rights.
The Government of Canada will continue to negotiate in good faith with both first nations, which is really not my ministerial responsibility but Mr. Anandasangaree's.
