Mr. Bellegarde, Canada would like nothing more than to see the indigenous communities thrive and see themselves as a part of this country. However, the convoluted patchwork of an un-unified confederacy has often been extremely obstructionist in allowing this nation to prosper and ergo, provided the needed assistance.
You cannot start every single negotiation with a stand off posture and the guilt card played straight off the top of the deck. It won't work with voting constituents nor the MP's they represent. And when you invited Hugo Chavez up here to pressure our government it made many furious. 
We have a Charter and a demonstrated willingness. You really need to start working with us and it all starts in your communities before coming to the table. I hope solutions are found. Regards,
