Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, National Chief, and to all of the delegation that is here today.
I appreciate your comments, National Chief, at the outset of the presentation. One of the issues that you've not brought up and I wonder if you would comment on is consultation, consultation that did or did not take place as it related to this particular bill, consultation that does or does not take place as it relates to other initiatives or lack thereof with this government.
Have the government members entered into any discussions with you or with any of the other regional chiefs on the potential impact of the repeal of section 67? I appreciate the recommendations that Chief Price has made, but have you had an opportunity prior to the drafting of the bill, to the best of your knowledge, to have input? And I would appreciate some comment on consultations overall.
