Thank you very much.
It's great to be able to speak with you here today.
I think it's important, first of all, that our committee hear that Bill C-3 indeed will be addressing the McIvor case. This is, I think, one aspect of it, but again the major discussion seems to be, right now, about where we're going in the future as far as the exploratory process is concerned.
You had mentioned earlier how it was so important that this be rooted in the community. That perhaps comes from Megan's questions earlier, when she talked about consensus. I'd like to go back to what John was talking about, regarding some of the resistance that is sometimes felt.
I wonder if you could start by explaining the mechanisms the AFN has to get consensus among its various aboriginal communities.
