Back in 2013 Rae and Iacobucci were supposed to hammer out the same garbage that is holding things up today.

Rae vs. Iacobucci
On the other side of the negotiating table from Rae is former Supreme Court justice Frank Iacobucci, who is acting for Ontario. The two negotiators have already had a few meetings.
"It's early days yet, but so far I think it's been a very respectful dialogue and we're hoping to get to a better place," Rae told CBC's Rosemary Barton in an interview on Power & Politics.
"We've got a lot of things on the table," he said.

Rae said that in Ontario and other provinces where First Nations communities, private companies and governments are working out deals, the relationships are changing and there is more focus now on making sure First Nations aren't "left on the sidelines."
When pipelines were built 30 years ago, for example, there was no local consultation with First Nations, he said, but things have changed — and all Canadians need to be aware of that.
"There's a whole new economic partnership that people are looking to create," Rae said.
The former Ontario premier and interim federal Liberal leader said he feels strongly that "we have to do development differently now than we've done it before," noting that as Canada's frontier extends further north it will cross into traditional aboriginal territory.
"This is an issue that all Canadians are going to have to embrace. We haven't done development right as it relates and connects to First Nations people for a long time. We now have an opportunity to do it differently," said Rae.
=============================================
Fast forward 4 years and here we have Rae at the Spark the Fire event basically saying the same thing?

"If we have courage and imagination to do it differently, we will succeed." - @BobRae48 #SparktheFire #RingofFire #NorthBayMiningWeek
======================================================
Was Rae and Iacobucci fired along the way? What happened to the last four years of negotiations? Are we locked in a time warp? Is this all a farce and we are waiting for some end game to be played such as the sale of Algoma to the puppetmaster?
Help me understand this madness!
