Not really because the liberals didn't draft the agreement in the first place, the NDP did on a napkin in the middle of the night back when they came up with their "save the corrupt liberal budget" in the spring of 2005.
None of the monies, nor the agreement have come into effect yet so the Conservatives are saying that they don't want the liberals policy on Aboriginal affairs, they want to come up with their own, together with the natives.

I'm afraid you are misinformed. I have interviewed the then Premier Kakfwi of the NWT, Premier Okalic of Nunavut and I was apprised of the contributions of Cornoyer towards the Papal delegation.
The Federal Government has settled most of their land claims with the Treaty 8 in the Yukon. The Dene in the NWT have settled their claims with the Federal Government and the diamond companies. Only the Inuit have not settled their claims.
These treaties were the result of ten years of negotiations with native lawyers,(Okalik is a lawyer)
The NDP had nothing to do with it. The NDP represent southern school teachers. They have no power in the north.
