Yes. This notion Mr. Dubé brought up, Mr. Chairman, of the obligation of consultations imposed upon the crown for aboriginal populations is a real one. It's called the “honour of the crown”. Whether it is in this bill or not, the honour of the crown rests with the crown at all times, so it's irrelevant; it's a red-herring argument. If there are any considerations in the national capital region that pertain to the aboriginal communities—and there are, and we've seen them in the paper today, because the entire territory is under claim—therefore, ipso facto, there is an honour-of-the-crown obligation in any event, whether we include consultations or not. Let's not put some red herrings in the window here; there are enough.
The notion that we would not want to consult Canadians once a decade on what their capital should be is ludicrous.
