I want to thank all of you for your very important testimony.
I raised this concern to the previous panel. As we have not received most of your briefs yet, I think we're going to need more time as a committee, if we're going to come up with recommendations for amendments that reflect your testimony, which is the whole purpose of this study.
My first question would be for Ms. Lepine. Thank you for your brief.
I know you have recently had experience with a strategic assessment, because you intervened with UNESCO. They have now directed that Canada and Alberta have to come up with a strategic assessment.
Can you share with us your experience with that process as to how well you feel your nation or any of the other nations and Métis in the area are being engaged, whether you think the bill as written is going to enhance or improve the conditions for when you can call for a regional or strategic assessment to deal with the cumulative impacts, and whether or not the bill adequately gives you the right to participate in those strategic or regional assessments?
