If I've understood the question, my group is in charge of the assessment of claims and the negotiation of claims. In the event that we don't accept a claim for negotiation, or we have been negotiating for more than three years, the first nation has the option to go to the tribunal. I can only tell you what I think I know about the appointments, because we're not involved in the selection of judges or recommendations, and I think that's by design. When the reforms were brought into place, there was a concern because the department used to be the group that negotiated the claims, and there was no independent place somebody could go.
I can tell you what I think I know about the judges. Generally speaking, it would be judges familiar with certain case law in certain regions. For example, the chair is from British Columbia. We have a large number of claims, both in negotiation and proportionally at the tribunal, that are from British Columbia. I think they try to do that so that there are judges from various superior courts across Canada. They wouldn't all be from Ontario, per se, or Quebec or British Columbia. I think that's how they do it.
