Mr. Speaker, all of the negotiations surrounding the method of paying that follows from the elimination of the WGTA have taken into account as many concerns as possible.
No final determination has been made with respect to the method of payment. The discussion is ongoing as to how that will be handled. Without exception, throughout these negotiations the government has been acutely aware of the implications for both the owners of the land and those who are actually farming the land. There has to be a determination on what is in the best interests of those two groups.
