I'll answer first of all. Because I started with Whitecap 13 years ago, it sounds like it might be my fault.
Minister, you may want to speak to the question from the government's point of view.
It does take time, and it is very frustrating. You have to be very patient. In our case, part of it was that Whitecap in many cases wanted to push the envelope and wanted to change some things. We pushed the envelope on property tax jurisdiction. We're a government, so we wanted to say that we have the power to impose property taxes. At the outset, the government's position was that we had to do that through arrangements with the province, because it's provincial jurisdiction. We said that is not the way it ought to be. We've worked through that. We have an agreement to go along with our agreement on real property tax that still maintains some principles for representation and so forth.
There are other examples like that where we've pushed back on the fiscal side. Some of them took a lot of arguing, and some of them are a work in progress. Then, of course, the other big issue that we worked on alongside self-government was this idea of our recognition as an aboriginal people. That was a challenge.
For many years, it was talking to a brick wall with the federal government, because the position was so entrenched. Thankfully, that's changed, but all of those things slow a process down. When we open those up and we pave the way for some of these things, I think it can speed it up for other first nations in the future.
