I want to comment on Mr. Boor's admission that he lacked the knowledge of aboriginal treaty rights. I would assure him that if a joint review panel process was in place, he would have ample opportunity to hear from the people themselves who live off the land in the territories in which this mining development is taking place. He would come out of there with a good understanding of their needs and the impacts on their aboriginal treaty rights. I support what Mr. Ferris is saying here. This is a good opportunity for all parties to benefit.
