Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Se:ko, Niawen'kó:wa for being here. Thank you for your leadership and your courage. It takes a lot of bravery to come here and be as forthcoming as you've been. I appreciate that. On behalf of this side of the committee, we thank you for your leadership.
The water of Kanesatake is important for a lot of reasons. It's not just drinking and irrigation; I know there's a big paddling community in Kanesatake as well. As somebody who got to use a kayak for 20 years, a white guy from Oakville, I want to say niawen'kó:wa for the sport that I enjoyed and that brought me around the world for a long time.
There were also some pretty awesome Mohawk paddlers I've looked up to over the years. Thank you for that. If you see Alwyn Morris one day, let him know I say hi.
Can I ask how the drinking water situation is in your community?
