He will recall that although there were differences of opinion when we talked about this item, we also recognized that it was a principle in law that when decisions are made in good faith by governments or, indeed, by first nations, and that legislation is found to be invalid at a later point in time, that particular event would not in and of itself attract liability.
Le député se rappellera que, bien qu'il y ait eu des divergences d'opinions à cet égard, le comité a néanmoins reconnu qu'il existe un principe de droit voulant que, lorsque le gouvernement ou même les Premières nations prennent des décisions de bonne foi et que la loi est ultérieurement jugée invalide, il y a absence de responsabilité.
