Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Pérez, we heard from the Indian Resource Council last week, who stated the following:
Many of the things that have been described as fossil fuel subsidies are actual programs and funds that directly support our first nations communities and our involvement in the sector. These go to rectifying some of the economic wrongs that have been done to first nations in the past.
However, you and your organization are calling on the elimination of the so-called fossil fuel subsidies. Do you see a concern with the economic impact that this would have on first nations?
