Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, this was, again, part of the reduction exercises. For the actual details of the reductions, I can provide that to the Members if they wish. I could read it off here, but it is a fairly long list. I can provide this information to the Members so they can see exactly what the reductions are. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm aware of a few communities that still have band lots. Thank you.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, it is just part of the business of lands. We provide information and support to the department of ENR. There is no particular line item for it. It is just part overall of our operation. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 24)

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I'm trying to understand the question. I mean, if the band wants to pay for the leases, then that would be the call of the bands. So I'm not sure  I mean, we can work with them, as long as somebody's paying the lease. I mean, they have a lease. Right? As long as somebody's paying it. If it's the band, then it will be them. If it's a question of the ownership of the land, then that's something we need to have a discussion about with the communities. Because, in some of the communities, there's some band land there that we don't have much jurisdiction over...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct. There was, I think, eight of the ten jurisdictions that signed on to the enhancements to the Canada Pension Plan. One had to take it back to their government to have a conversation with them, and Quebec has their own Quebec Pension Plan. The Member's question is about what our position was. Unfortunately, we don't have a vote at the table. It is just the seven provinces. They allowed the ten provinces to have some input into this. I think it is two-thirds and the NWT, Nunavut, and Yukon don't have a vote at the table. Thank you, Mr...
