Thanks, Mr. Watchorn. Once again, thanks for acknowledging my 32nd birthday. I really appreciate that.
I know I only have a short time, Ms. Fortin.
I live in British Columbia. I'm in a metropolitan area, but there are large swaths of B.C. that are rural and remote towns, and first nations as well. We know that indigenous communities are becoming increasingly essential to environmental policy.
Can you speak to how the department is increasingly approaching indigenous engagement and co-development in its current work?
