No, I just went through that. I was asking their forbearance to stand by for a minute, because then we'll end the meeting. That's why I mentioned it.
We'll just quickly do the details, if we can have your forbearance for a minute, because I know people are going to want to come up and talk to you.
Please go ahead, Alex.

I want to take the opportunity to point out that I've prepared a note regarding some of the potential issues that could be raised by indigenous groups. That note was distributed to you on Monday. There's a bit of background on indigenous rights and some of the potential issues. If you have additional questions, you can ask and I'll try to answer.
There are three things on indigenous rights and the non-derogation clause, which was raised also earlier this week. Among specific issues regarding treaty obligations, the Crees have pointed out some. As well, there is implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which was also discussed this week.
I don't know whether we have additional indigenous groups who are coming, but—

Yes, we have indigenous groups still coming before us.
We had some very detailed testimony this week, so it would be good to review what our analysts have prepared for us.
I think that's it. I will end by wishing everyone a good weekend, and we'll be back at it again next Tuesday.
Thank you. The meeting is adjourned.
