Yes. As we said earlier, four elements must be combined. The establishment of tripartite agreements and legislative structures will clarify roles and responsibilities, and even service standards and funding levels. I think that goes together. I often repeat that it would be impossible to impose that kind of solution on the first nations. They have a very clear vision of their role as a level of government and manager of their communities. So it will be an exercise in cooperation and, at times, in negotiation.
