Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first questions are for Ms. Brown.
Thank you so much for coming to speak about the impacts on the Snuneymuxw community and about the impacts on the land.
You mentioned in your letter to the committee that it's a Snuneymuxw teaching to care for all, starting with the most vulnerable. I appreciate your advocacy in supporting Senator Mary Jane McCallum's amendment to include the term “vulnerable environment”.
Can you speak a bit more about the impact of resource extraction and development—whether that's from the port, logging and milling, historical mines or waste management—both on the members of your community and on the land that your community has been stewarding for generations?
