Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I'd like to thank the witness for coming in this morning, especially at this hour. Hopefully, he's had enough coffee for the morning.
Chief, I know we've got to be cautious about what is being discussed here today because you are in negotiations. I'll try not to interfere or make any inappropriate or misleading comments or try to guide you down the garden path.
I have a couple of questions.
In regard to negotiations, I'm wondering if a federal negotiator has been appointed to do the negotiations for you, with you and the first nations, in the land claim.
