Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good day, gentlemen.
My first question is directed more specifically to Chief Douglas, as I'm trying to gain a better understanding of the situation. So then, if I understand correctly, the problem basically stems from the fact that no one is admitting to a dialogue taking place between nations. The fact that this isn't acknowledged from the outset creates a relationship in which one party is the dominant player.
Am I off base when I say this fundamental relationship creates a host of conflicts or problems at this point in time?
