Thank you for joining us, Mr. Roy.

I'll try to go easy on you. I visited the Naskapi reserve which is located on Inuit land. Negotiations involving this reserve have been underway for several years, as I understand it.

This summer, we learned that the federal negotiator had awarded all of Nunavik to the Inuit and that no separate territory has been split off for the Naskapi, despite their ongoing land claim.

What is the current status of this file? I believe you were scheduled to be involved in the negotiations between the Naskapi, the Inuit and the Government of Quebec. Correct?
