Well, it's so complicated, because you have a federal system that feels responsible to some of these citizens, rubbed up against a system of government that doesn't work. I have no straightforward answer for you. How there has been consultation on this bill has been an issue as well. The whole nature of relations between first nations in Canada and the federal government undermines the viability of bills like this, in my opinion.
