Thank you very much.
Again, because we're talking about land and what this means, I want to quickly jump over to the Cowichan decision. The government itself, in my opinion, was a little late in submitting not only their objections but also their appeal. Now we have a question of where aboriginal title lines up with fee simple property in the Land Title Act in British Columbia. Justice Young's decision seems to put into question sections 23 and 25 of that land title system.
Given the fact that during the proceedings of what was one of Canada's largest court cases, the arguments on behalf of the Cowichan lawyers circled around land currently occupied within the limits of the city of Richmond. What outreach did the government do or the department do to inform residents that there could be some question put into their land in general over the ownership of it?
