It could be implemented within the next five years, if we so desire. It's all dependent on our current negotiations. We are one of the few modern treaty holders in Canada who does not yet have self-government. When we signed our agreement back in 1992, we anticipated that self-government would follow shortly thereafter. We didn't anticipate the millennium passing and us not having self-government. For a variety of reasons, we have been negotiating for over 24 years. Taxation has been a key impediment in the past to our achieving resolution of an agreement.
As many of you will know, the federal government had a policy that required indigenous nations who were finalizing self-governments to sign away tax exemptions afforded to their status Indian citizens. That has changed in recent years, which allows us and paves a way for us to finalize an agreement sooner rather than later. However, there are many technical differences that need to be sorted out through the negotiations process. We are one of the nations who hope to have governing and jurisdiction authority upon day one of the execution of our agreement. Taxation is a key element of our fiscal package that we are looking to negotiate with Canada.
