2. Has Shoal Lake First Nation benefited or suffered from Shoal Lake being Winnipeg's source of water? Give at least two examples to support your opinion.
3. Why would Winnipeg not want development and economic activity at Shoal Lake?
4. Why would Shoal Lake First Nation want development and economic activity at Shoal Lake?
