Thank you for the question.
I would remind the government that while that might work for modern-day treaties that deal with modern-day legislation and policy, we have to go back to the signing of a treaty and the understanding of what that is, what that means to us. These are two different things.
We're afraid of having a two-tiered treaty system, where we have the modern treaties with their commissioner instituting the agreement that.... The negotiations took a long time, and they're fixed and capped. When we're talking about historic treaties, treaties 1 through 11, those are separate, distinct treaties that have to be taken in that context.
