Some of the problems can be due simply to the process. The process is not a very rapid one. The department has taken some measures to try to improve. For example, previously an environmental assessment was required every two years, so because of the delay times they would end up going longer than two years and would then have to do another assessment. As well, there is the issue of third parties that they have to resolve.
One of the reasons we put this in is that although they have been successful in transferring a fairly significant number of acres, for which we gave them satisfactory progress, going forward it's going to be more difficult. The parcels of land will probably be smaller, and on average these land selections have been in the works, as we said, for up to seven years. Going forward, it will be difficult. That's why Manitoba in particular really has to fix its management processes and have better information about the land and the acreage that has been selected, and analyze where they're at.
We mention in paragraph 4.25 that although Saskatchewan does not analyze the information, it at least captures it, but Manitoba doesn't even capture that information.
