Mr. Carl Braun (Executive Director, Treaty Land Entitlement Committee of Manitoba Inc.) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Good morning. Just as a brief introduction, I am the executive director for the Treaty Land Entitlement Committee.

The following is a briefing submission to the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development on the issue of Manitoba treaty land entitlement, in consideration of the Auditor General's report of March 31, 2009, and chapter 4 on treaty land entitlement.

We thank the Auditor General and her office and, for the most part, agree with their findings, but take the opportunity to provide our comments--
