Yes. You know, when we're looking at undefined regulations, I think it's very important that first nations are actually considered in there. When you look at the constitutional order under the government, you're talking about section 91, which clearly gives that role to the federal government, but it's a trusteeship role. I think that needs to be clearly understood.
The other component of that, under the British Columbia Terms of Union, under section 13, is that it was very clear in the wording for that, “The charge of the Indians, and the trusteeship and management of the lands reserved for their use and benefit, shall be assumed by the Dominion Government”. It is clear that, constitutionally, in British Columbia, when you're coming there, you do not speak to the provincial government. You actually speak to us in terms of any type of issue that will affect us.
I think there needs to be an understanding that there must be the ability to enforce section 81 of the Indian Act, which talks about us being able to pass laws and regulations. It says that we have that authority for health and public safety. You can't be more clear about water and water legislation, but we also need the ability to enforce that. It has been a failure of government all along to not enforce our bylaws.
