Mr. Speaker, let me try this another way.
The intergovernmental affairs minister calls himself the keeper of the Constitution, but it is obvious by his silence that he is going to go along and of course he is going to vote for this Nisga'a agreement when it comes in.
The question is this. Since the Nisga'a band has been granted, in essence, a form of sovereignty association within the province of British Columbia, why would the intergovernmental affairs minister possibly vote for a change to the Constitution of that magnitude? Why would he do it?
