Thanks, Chair.
Thank you very much, gentlemen, for being here this afternoon.
Chief Atleo, unfortunately we didn't receive a copy of your brief. It's not in both languages, I'm told, so forgive me if I've misinterpreted, in the copious notes I've taken, what you said.
Do I take it from the number of recommendations you made--I took down about 12 bullet points--that you are suggesting, generally speaking, that first nations peoples are not subject to the jurisdiction of SARA?
You opened, I think, by saying, for example, that the Government of Canada should not be able to list, or presumably delist, species at risk without aboriginal acquiescence. Are you really saying, as the Grand Chief here now, that aboriginal peoples are not submitting, or should not be submitting, to SARA's authority?
