Of course I'm not in a position to provide a specific time frame for the implementation of that declaration, because, as I've said, the government is now considering the recommendations of the joint standing committee that made recommendations on this matter. As I said in my answer to the previous question, we intend to consult with First Nations peoples in a deliberate and meaningful manner to help inform our response to the recommendations.
