Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That was March 25, 2010. It was signed off by Privy Council.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  That was the OIC granting the lands reserve status.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  He just signed off on the amendment to the first nations land management agreement, our framework agreement that added the reserve lands to the original amendment. That gave us our legal teeth to proceed. That was March 14 of this year.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'd like to add to that. You talked about the lodge. There was what they called the Chiblow Lake Lodge. Unfortunately, the settlement agreement says we buy buildings and the land and not chattels. It was bought as a business, but we ended up arguing. We bought it as buildings an

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I would say that compared with some other first nations I've seen that have land claims and settlements, we didn't have per se the mass squatting or people moving ahead of the first nation. I guess you could basically say that there were people moving out and claiming spots, and

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Those are lands outside of the reserve boundary, which is basically what we claim as our traditional lands. There's no land claim or anything in place. That's dealing with those types of issues. The lands and natural resources committee was established mainly for the land code,

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think we're into step two, now that there's no environmental management agreement required. However, we are in the stage where we do have an environmental management plan, which I reviewed on the plane today. Its main focus is the community engagement strategy, but it also addr

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  No. That was our land-use plan, wasn't it? Was that in the report? Can you clarify that for me?

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, we did. I think there was a total of 135 questions. The reason behind that survey...we wanted to develop the land-use plan. I don't know if we mentioned that, but we do have a draft land-use plan that we basically had in place prior to even having the land code. So we were d

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, and some of it was fairly...“Do you agree with this” and “Do you agree with that?” I think that was where we got our direction, especially when we talked about the hunting and fishing. Once the land has reserve status, they are under our position. I think we had to make it

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Yes, and I think that's the thing. If you look at the Specific Claims Tribunal Act, it's basically in there. Negotiations are off the table. We have to tread lightly in Mississauga because we do have these two claims that are going on, and as far as we're concerned, they should b

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  You may mean implementing, because our land code is passed. Right now we're going to be proceeding to step three of the environmental management process, which is basically developing the laws. I think we have everything in place. The other thing we're looking at now is the regi

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  The MRP are at their third or fourth draft, I think, and hopefully that's their final one. We were hoping they were going to have it tabled May 17, which is our annual health fair, where we do have a lot of people, but it may be put off for another month or so. That basically is

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Here's a perfect example. Because it was under the Indian Act, we lost out on the opportunity for a solar farm, 50 acres of land, probably around $120,000 annually. We couldn't do anything because we couldn't move on it. We were waiting for this process, for the lands to be...one
