At this point in time, the first nations do not have any kinds of contracts. Maybe just recently I went through an old contract, but first nations building their own contracts is something that's been ongoing for the last 30 years. As far as I know, this is what we've been trying to get at: why aren't the first nations having contracts, as far as the camps go, in order to build that capacity and build that business knowledge? Then when it comes time for a mining project to happen, the first nations will be ready to take on a contract of that size, possibly for the lifetime of a mine.
So far the first nations don't have those kinds of contracts, other than maybe the Webequie First Nation, which did get some contracts, but they seem to be complaining that the significance or the role they play in those contracts is totally lopsided, and it isn't the kind of contract that I would be encouraging first nations to take.
In my own community of Constance Lake First Nation, we negotiated with a mining company right from the very beginning, when the mine started, so that everybody knew where we were and where all our roles would be throughout the life cycle of the mine. The idea was that if you want this, then you have to give us this.
We've taken a lot of these contracts throughout the exploration stage, and what it does is attract attention from the community that this mining company is going somewhere with us. Then in the end, we see that there will be significant benefits when the mine project itself starts.
