Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses today for your presentations.
Perhaps I'll start in order of the presentations, the first by Mr. Picard.
In your presentation, you talked about the Crown--Canada--requiring honourable processes of negotiation and respect for the requirement for consultation, accommodation, justification, and first nations' consent. Like Mr. Albrecht, I would ask for you to define how that would occur.
As a legislator, I am presented with the issue of human rights not being present on first nation reserves. As a government, we have decided that we would like to remedy that. Perhaps you could explain to us how you would envision the proper methodology for that to occur.
