A planning conference was held in June 2004. Canada’s documents were received in February 2005, and this material has been processed by the Commission’s research staff. The statement of issues for this inquiry has been drafted; the First Nation is reviewing it and may revisit the issues if necessary. The dates for a staff visit and a community session are to be determined once the parties agree on the legal issues. |
