Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome to all the witnesses.
I'd like to begin with a question for Mr. Jules.
I think your proposal is very intriguing. As an economist, I can see that it could be potentially very powerful, but I also get the impression that it is fairly extreme. I don't mean that it is necessarily bad. “Radical” would be a better word, because if I understand correctly, if the reserve could sell as much land as it wanted to non-reserve people, then the reserve could effectively sell itself out of existence. My question is whether that is correct, but the second question related to that is, can you describe the attitude of the aboriginal community, the AFN and others, to this proposal?
