Thank you.
Through the chair, Mr. Russ also went on to talk about how the first nations are ready and willing to work with the federal government on a nation-to-nation, government-to-government basis to reconcile the rights and jurisdictions of their member nations with those asserted by Canada.
It sounds like some of the witnesses are saying that the work that they would like to see to ensure that those rights are being asserted is not being done. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on that, and perhaps, if you could, provide a bit of a response to Mr. Russ's comments that the nations he's referencing are willing and able to work alongside.
