Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, gentlemen, for appearing today.

I have a couple of questions.

First of all, the previous witnesses from Stoney First Nations indicated that there were issues regarding royalties on first nations. I'm wondering if you can help me out in terms of what involvement first nations had with the negotiations of royalty rates.
