Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all the witnesses.
I would certainly like to speak to Mr. Buffalo from the Indian Resource Council.
I know many people who have called or do call your community home. I have coached hockey teams that have played in your arenas, and I know of the services you provide for your people. I listen to you; I talk to you, but I don't talk for you. I think that's really the key issue we have. I have been on the aboriginal affairs and northern development committee where we have talked about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, honour of the Crown, UNDRIP, and all of these things. We've had discussions with your people, and I think it's so important. We have so many groups—the NGOs, the movie stars, the politicians, the entertainers and governments—all taking their turn to speak on your behalf.
We've just heard of the industry-altering 2030 emissions reduction plan, which is going to affect all natural resource sectors. It will affect the land and those activities like agriculture that are just about, in your communities, helping all of your members. It's going to affect the way you invest and the profitability of your efforts.
I wonder if you could tell us the types of consultations that you had in the development of this plan.
