Thank you, Lloyd. I appreciate that.
I had one more point to make. I will end with the existing quantity of fresh water in our territory.
Over the decades, Mikisew Cree First Nation has raised and continues to raise serious concerns about the quantity of fresh water, not only because of industry and resource development but because of the B.C. Hydro Bennett dam and, most recently, Site C, which affect our beloved Peace-Athabasca Delta.
When we cannot access the lands because of low water levels, we cannot hunt and gather. This impacts our rights, our culture, our food security and our identity. The solutions offered through Parks Canada are not meaningful and don't provide any real solutions to the low levels that we witness year after year.
Thank you.
