Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to all the witnesses. This has been very interesting, and I'm so in awe of some of the testimony brought forward today.
What we're hearing is that, if indigenous knowledge and science had been used, there would have been better management of this forest. From what I understand—I wasn't here for this testimony—there is one person in Parks Canada identified as the indigenous fire expert. I could be wrong on that. However, my understanding, particularly from the testimony you gave, Mr. de Souza, is that it would be very difficult for somebody from one area of the country to represent or have any sort of understanding about other areas of the country.
I'd like your thoughts on that, but I'd also like you to talk a little about how we can decolonize forest protection across Canada and what that would look like.
I'll start with you, Mr. de Souza, because you're in the room. Then I'll pass it on to those who are online.
