Mr. Speaker, I was listening to the answer of the hon. member for Prince Albert to the question of whether or not these fee simple lands were taxable and I am not sure what his answer was.
However, the legislation states very clearly that it ensures that fee simple lands provided to Norway House as part of the compensation plan do not fall under the Indian Act as special reserve lands. So they are fee simple lands, plain and simple. Members can draw whatever other conclusions they may want to from that, but they are fee simple properties.
