Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
My question is for Mr. Campbell. We talked around the subject of bulk water exports. Of course, they're not permitted at this time in Canada. Mr. Pentland has basically stated that the demand for Canada's water by the U.S. is perhaps not as large as it's generally thought to be.
With respect to that, you made a statement earlier that the treaties Canada signed with the aboriginals never extinguished the water rights. By that, I have to assume that aboriginal bands still have, or believe they have, rights to water. In your opinion, what would Canada's response be should one or more of the aboriginal bands in our country decide that it would be a pretty lucrative business arrangement--and of course it would--if they were to bulk package some pristine water that happened to be within their territory and decide to begin exporting it to the U.S.? Depending on the quality of water, they could probably get a pretty good dollar for it.
I'm very curious about this and serious about the question too, because there are a lot of things that aboriginal bands can export that non-aboriginals cannot. If you would be candid about your answer, I'd appreciate that.
