Another issue is the two-year cap that's going to be put in place. Don't you see that as posing constitutional challenges with section 35? If the crown has a duty to consult, how can you cut off the length of the consultation periods with aboriginal groups? How can you tell aboriginal groups they only have two years to say their piece and that you're then going to go ahead with this? Won't there be constitutional challenges down the road from the fact of the duty to consult in section 35?
