Thank you to all the witnesses, and this has been a very important study that our committee's undertaken here.
I want to start by asking Ms. Hunt a question. I'm from the Kamloops—Thompson—Cariboo area. I think we're warmer out in our area than it is in Ottawa right now.
Your recommendation two is what I really want to zero in on, which is where you want to prioritize the ASETS holders in terms of what the government's doing. In the area I represent, of course the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council is an ASETS holder, and has done some great work.
It's certainly also no secret that some of the chiefs have really supported some opportunities through the skills and partnership fund and things like B.C. AMTA. We heard about the Nunavut, the marine...so some really successful models that were outside the ASETS holders.
Can you really tell me why you made that recommendation? Is it widely endorsed? Because we have heard of some other models creating success, and one of our goals as a committee is to explore some of those different opportunities.
