Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Again, Grand Chief Bonspille, Mr. Cross, and Mr. Nicholas, thank you for being here today and for responding to my invitation.
The first file I started working on after being elected in 2021 was that one. We contacted the Department of the Environment and there were interactions with Minister Guilbeault and his office. One day, we were told that Minister Guilbeault could no longer get involved and that the file had been transferred to Mr. Miller. We no longer knew if it was Mr. Miller or Ms. Hajdu who was taking care of the matter. I consider myself an intelligent person, but I was very confused. At one point, no one was answering our calls.
I thought it might be easier for you, the people from the Mohawk Council of Kanesatake, to have ties with the federal government.
Have you had the same difficulties as I have in contacting the federal government for a major and urgent environmental problem?
