Just for a few moments. In the current iteration of my riding, there are 12 first nations in my riding. In the new riding set-up, I'll have another seven first nations in northern Ontario. I rely on my riding quite a bit, actually. In particular, many chiefs in my riding—Chief Mushquash and and Chief Michano, for example—have given me great advice about how to hold this very colonial portfolio with the utmost respect for first nations, so I'm very grateful for their advice.
