Finance committee  I would appreciate that, and thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I certainly understand the patience here of the committee and the time delays. I just want to sum up with this. We are in support of the amendments here. When we're talking about UNDRIP, these are very important provisions, and I think all of the federal legislation needs to reflect this.

Finance committee  You bet. Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.

Finance committee  Correct.

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. I'll try to go through this a little more quickly and paraphrase a little more. I want to point out to this honourable committee that just this past month when Brunswick House First Nation in Ontario held a vote with 153 yes votes and only 16 no votes, the land code still failed.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Good evening, honourable members of this committee. My name is Robert Louie, and I am chairman of the lands advisory board. My Okanagan Syilx name is Seemoo. Seemoo is our ancestral name, which means connected to the land. I am here with colleagues to speak to this committee in support of the amendments to the First Nations Land Management Act, which I will refer to as FNLMA, in Bill C-86.
