Thank you, Manny.
You are proposing to expand the successful FMA legislation that provides an effective jurisdictional option for interested first nations, away from the Indian Act, supported by indigenous institutions.
This framework has generated more economic growth, more first nations public revenues, passed more first nations laws, certified more first nations financial frameworks and it has also generated more access to capital than any other first nation legislation in the history of this country. That is a very impressive record and resumé.
The First Nations Fiscal Management Act was supported unanimously in 2005, I believe, as well.
When do you think these legislative proposals will be brought forward?
