Natural Resources committee  I will use my time wisely. I have two questions. I'll try to get through them quickly, so I hope you can help me with that. How do we deal with indigenous communities that are divided within themselves and between each other on whatever topic? If there's no consensus, there's no

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Chief. I'm enjoying this answer, but I'm already out of time, and I have one quick point that I'd really like to make.

Natural Resources committee  In that case, I'll make my other point, and I'll come back to that. Thank you. My other point was, when we're dealing with communities that want to be involved in the project and, if there are no institutions already in place to work with, who do you work with and how do you bui

Natural Resources committee  What about the question of institution building within communities in order to have someone to talk to, not only to talk to but capable of acting on what's decided?

As you're no doubt aware, Norway has a heritage fund of about two and a half times their GDP, of about $1 trillion. Have we ever done anything like that in Canada? Have we ever put the revenue from our

Natural Resources committee  Do other countries do it in an effective way that we know about?

Natural Resources committee  I think she wants to talk about it.

Natural Resources committee  We have had some really good philosophical testimony here, and I appreciate what you're saying, but we are trying to get to a lot of the practical stuff, the best practices that are in place. I'm going go back to Alaska. How does the Alaska state government interact with indigeno

Natural Resources committee  I'm from Quebec. I can't imagine any conflict between federal and provincial governments.

Natural Resources committee  You talked in your opening comments, Professor Poelzer, about the social impacts, not just the environmental impacts. You cited the case of Yakutia. Could you expand a bit on the social impacts and how to quantify them and how to approach them?

Natural Resources committee  Thank you very much. I think our time is up.

Natural Resources committee  Time is a limited natural resource.
