Mr. Speaker, to the best of our knowledge, from input from judicial experts, this is protected by the constitution. This treaty defines the aboriginal rights which are protected by the constitution. That does not mean that we have to amend the constitution to engage it.
The constitution specifies the rights of different peoples. We do not need to amend it. The courts continually define the constitution, to the best of the knowledge of those involved in the judicial system, but we never have to amend the constitution on those issues.
I believe that the treaty is constitutional and we do not need to worry about a constitutional impact.
