Thank you.
First of all, I want to thank all of you for coming.
I think the testimony we're hearing today is disturbing on any number of levels. I was just making a list of all the things people have talked about. I haven't captured them all, but they include lack of community process, concerns about controls over pricing, culturally appropriate decisions, storage issues, concerns around the advisory board, concerns around the inability to consistently access country food, and commercial packaging and labelling. The list is huge.
I only have seven minutes, as you're well aware, so I'm going to start with two questions. I'd like one to go to Chief Dumas and one to Ms. Simon.
Chief Dumas, I understand from Grand Chief Evans' presentation that your community is one of those that are now going to be excluded from the process. Can you tell me a little bit about the process that led to your exclusion, or how your community was involved in being dropped from the list?
