Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first question will be for Ms. LaBillois, but before I begin, I want to make it clear that I am going to name an act whose title makes my hair stand on end. I really don't like to say it. I think this act has always caused and is still causing enormous harm to first nations, and I deplore that. That said, it has to be named.
Ms. LaBillois, in your presentation, you mention the difficulties and obstacles caused by the Indian Act. Since 1867, this act has treated first nations as minor children unable to make their own decisions and have full responsibility for them, especially on reserves. It's worse for people who want to start their own business because, as you mentioned, they don't have access to capital. It's especially difficult for businesses established on reserves.
In a minute or a minute and a half, could you give us some more details on the problems that the Indian Act causes for first nations entrepreneurs?
