Mr. Chair, I thought we had a fairly good discussion on it with the Alberta Métis communities when they raised this issue. We also had it brought up when the minister appeared before us, and he was quite clear that this agreement, this treaty, would not be the sole agreement for that area, for Alberta. I believe our officials also clarified that, so I'm not sure why we need to go to this extent.
It's been clear all along that this agreement is not the sole agreement for any jurisdiction, and that includes Alberta. The door is still open for the Métis settlements to move forward. The arguments that they used were that their own agreements, their own claims, were not moving fast enough, and that's where we should maybe make some recommendations to support them in that fashion.
