Mr. Harris, the chief has that authority now. In fact, he has the authority to hear all grievances and to render a decision as final authority. That includes financial matters, and he does. He renders a view of entitlement in terms of redress. The challenge is not so much rendering the view; it is finding the mechanism to actually commit the money to redress the grievance. It is not so much the chief's authority to make a finding; it is the government's ability and structure to empower the chief to cause that finding to be implemented.
