Mr. Speaker, I have a question for my caucus colleague from Edmonton. I appreciate and understand his concern about the size of the grant of funds.
What about inherent self-government and how that will interface? Perhaps he has an idea of how inherent self-government could be negotiated on the reserves within this large land area and how that would interface with the laws of the rest of Canada. Does he see any potential conflicts there? Should this be negotiated now before we do the land settlements?
He talked about precedent. That is something they did not mention. I would like to know as a businessman how he would be negotiating this deal from that point of view.
