Mr. Speaker, obviously the government wants to treat all bands equally. That is why we are trying to get agreements with all bands.
I am happy to report to the House that as of May 30, 18 agreements have been signed with first nations. The government has five more agreements in principle with other first nations and we hope that there will be signatures soon. I believe there has been good progress in the negotiations. I am certainly hopeful that there will be agreement overall in due course.
