I can't quantify the value to first nations because those are confidential to every first nation, but in talking with some of my fellow chief councillors over the days, some of the comments I heard were basically that these are our first steps out of dependence on the Indian Act. One of the first nation councillors to the north of me said that over the 20-year period, they expected anywhere from $50 to $60 million to be raised. This did not include the money they had already accepted in terms of engagement, capacity and those kinds of things.
It's interesting to point out, though, that LNG Canada took a different approach from their predecessor, Chevron, on the KM LNG project, which isn't quite up and running. In that case, the first nations formed a unit and went after the business opportunities as a group.
LNG Canada actually went individually to every first nation and signed individual IBAs. Either formula could have worked, in my opinion, but I think first nations are really going to gravitate towards the individual, one-on-one basis that LNG Canada brought in.
The amount of revenue, employment and training that's going to come to first nations along the pipeline route—and beyond, by the way—is quite substantial.
