Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here.
I'm going to start with a question for Mr. Knight, and following that I will have questions for Ms. Elmslie.
Mr. Knight, perhaps you can clarify. I completely agree with many of the points you made around the importance of looking at indigenous rights, ensuring that appropriate information and clear information are made available, and ensuring that there are opportunities for indigenous and non-indigenous to understand what the roles are and how to work together. There's a lot of clarity missing, and I'm hearing from people from all the coasts of Canada about the ongoing frustration. This is a theme.
You said something at the beginning, and I want to make sure I provide the opportunity to get some clarification around it and to ensure there isn't any miscommunication. Your words were that indigenous people “feel they have a right”. I want to ask you to clarify why you used the phrase “feel they have a right” in there, just to make sure we're all on the same page.
