Mr. Speaker, it is very interesting that the hon. member knows the Reform agenda. Perhaps this question might help him out a little bit.
Since 1991, $4.6 million has been granted to the Siksika first nation in Alberta to negotiate a self-government agreement. We now learn from this document that the Siksika dropped out of the process so it could pursue negotiations from a direction beyond
the mandate of current federal policy. In fact, we now learn there is no federal policy, so is it any wonder it dropped out.
Can the minister tell the House if there is any recourse to recoup the $4.6 million blunder?
