Yes, IOGC, Indian Oil and Gas Canada, is a special operating agency. It's responsible for managing and regulating oil and gas resources on first nations reserve lands across Canada. It's headquartered in Calgary, but obviously it reports through me to the deputy minister and the minister of AANDC.
There are more than 50 first nations with active oil and gas agreements. All funds that we collect on their behalf are placed in their trust accounts.
At the top line, the functions of IOGC in assisting first nations with designated reserve lands in the oil and gas process are to help them negotiate, issue, and administer agreements with oil and gas companies; conduct environmental screenings; monitor oil and gas production and sales prices; verify, assess, and collect money such as bonuses, royalties, and rents; and ensure that legislative and contract requirements are met.
