I also note on the same page of the estimates, page 2-64, further down there's a line item with regard to authorities to support comprehensive claims and self-government negotiations in British Columbia. We know that modern treaties are the most comprehensive way of addressing aboriginal rights and title. They resolve questions of uncertainty with respect to ownership or use of land and resources. They also provide first nations with the economic and social tools to promote self-reliant communities and the capacity to identify and implement their own solutions to difficult economic and social problems. All in all, modern treaties are, I think, good for all Canadians.
I've already highlighted the line item in the estimates about authorities supporting comprehensive claims and self-government negotiations. How does this item contribute to these benefits?
