Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome you, Mr. Dupont, to this meeting as well as recognize the very capable team that you have joining you today. I look forward to hearing your testimony in response to the questions that we have.
I'm sure you are aware that we've recently completed our cross-Canada benefits study on developing the oil and gas industry, and we heard a fair bit of testimony from witnesses about the importance of engaging aboriginal communities in resource development. Given the fact that this is one of the four pillars of our responsible resource development plan and given the announcements that were made earlier this week, could you provide us with any information on what the main estimates provide for aboriginal participation in the resource economy?
