Jean Crowder at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the commissioners for coming before the committee once again.

I have a couple of questions. One is that back in 2006, you had raised the issue around the fact that the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development had from 1987 to the present taken the position that the mandate of the commission does not extend to consideration of matters arising under the agreement. Is that still the case?
