Thank you, Mr. Obed, for presenting today.
You didn't mince words in your press release after this legislation was introduced. I think you were quoted as saying that this legislation was symbolic, in bad faith, that it was done behind closed doors in a colonial system, that it was being imposed. Those are very strong words, and they speak to your disappointment.
The government talks about codeveloping legislation, and it might be as it was with the Trans Mountain pipeline when they talked about consultation with the communities that were going to be impacted, but the words didn't actually match what was happening. We're not privy to what was happening behind closed doors.
What happened that made you so uncomfortable that you were not mincing words in terms of the outcome?
