Thank you, Chief Picard and Madame Gabriel, for being here.
In the moment we've got left, I just want to delve into your first recommendation a little bit more where you're saying you had asked the committee to amend the bill to drop any reference to first nations, but then engage in some sort of a dialogue to try to come up with suitable alternatives to ensure accountability of any money Parliament votes to first nations people.
You've obviously given this a great deal of thought. Do you have any written recommendations we could peruse, giving us some ideas how we can find alternatives that would still achieve the accountability you say you agree with us we both want to achieve? Do you have any specific recommendations or alternatives you could present to this committee to examine?
