Perfect.
It makes sense that the government can't unilaterally impose obligations on FN outside of the Treaty process.
Yeah! Those darn judges and their obsession with the rule of law. Why can't we just do whatever we feel like whenever we feel like it, instead of worrying about what's "legal" (whatever that word means)?

Why are you against a basic amount of accountability?
Do you not thing that Bands should have to account for the millions we give them?

If there's a treaty speaking to the issue then you're absolutely right.
The government's only play here is to refuse to make any further payments unless they get what they want. The FN are free to refuse those terms under their treaty.
