Madam Speaker, I would suggest some solutions are out there if the member would look at agreements or parts of agreements that we have approved. The Nisga'a agreement has a way of dealing with this under section 35 and it does not compromise that section. There are ways in which we can agree to that. There are other agreements which have been brought forward that offer answers to the kinds of questions we have posed.
What the member is talking about is opening up again an unpredictable array of court challenges which, as the member well knows, can go on interminably at a cost that can run up to astronomic amounts. She does admit in the whole area of assertion or non-assertion that this is a relatively new approach. Why move into this area of uncertainty when areas of certainty can be applied and have been applied before?
