I feel that we are already doing that. As my colleagues have mentioned, environmental questions and questions that affect aboriginal interests overlap considerably. It makes a lot of sense to use the processes that we already have, in this case the environmental assessment process, just as a matter of efficiency. Given the number of cases that have been brought before the courts and with my seven years of experience, I have a relatively good reason to hope that the decision will be to use existing processes to address aboriginal matters.
