I would like to focus my questions to Mr. Jules, with a bit of a preamble because there are many new members on this committee.
Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. We had the opportunity last year as part of our travels to hear from a number of chiefs in the interior of British Columbia, to see what some of the aspirations were and what was happening in a couple of those communities. It was a really great opportunity.
I'm going to ask Mr. Jules if he can talk first of all in a little more detail about this first nations property ownership act and the fact that it's voluntary. What is it actually going to look like? What would it mean for the communities that decided...? First of all, if what you're proposing as legislation goes through as proposed, what would it actually look like in terms of the communities and their future?
