Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone, this morning--Mr. Namagoose and your team, Mr. Blanchette, Mr. Pilote, and Mr. Craik. Mr. O'Reilly, good morning to you. Your reputation precedes you. I know you've been involved in aboriginal affairs for a long time, not just in the province of Quebec but in other parts of the country as well. It's good to finally meet you.
I would like to recognize the comment about the role that Raymond Chrétien played in the negotiations. I had dealings with him when he was the ambassador in Washington. I came to respect some things at that time.
I wanted to ask about the new Canada-Cree Standing Liaison Committee. I'm unsure if we are talking about the same body that's carrying out these negotiations or if we are talking about a separate entity. So I'm asking about the status role and responsibilities of that liaison committee. Also, what kind of dispute resolution mechanism, if any, is predicted or in place?
