	What About the Aboriginal Peoples?
		Quebec's aboriginal leaders have already stated that they have no interest in separatist demands for an independent Quebec and will do all in their power to remain in Canada.
		This is significantly lower than the natives' 2-per-cent population share in the rest of Canada and much lower than the almost 7-per-cent population share in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the two provinces with the highest concentration of aboriginal people.
		In any pre-sovereignty negotiations, Quebec must prove that it will fulfill all of the responsibilities of the federal government for natives under the Constitution and the Indian Act and will be subject to all of the UN requirements for treatment of aboriginals.
