I don't know, and to be honest with you, I don't think so.

I think there have been consultations as part of the process. In the last round I think there were consultations with first nations. But I can't say, going back to the original Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement back in 1987, or whatever it is, or NAFTA back in 1993, that there was any formal type of consultation with indigenous communities.

I just don't think we were at that stage yet in terms of the politics of the various trade agreements. I guess the short answer is “probably not”.
