Thank you, Chair.
It's a great honour to be here.
I'm glad to see Kevin here today. He probably doesn't remember me, but I was stationed in New Aiyansh from 1983 to 1985 with the RCMP. I remember the police office being in the basement with the band office. I clearly remember the early days when Joe Gosnell and Rod Robinson were negotiating the Nisga'a treaty. It's with great pride that they will be remembered for time immemorial for what they did in moving the Nisga'a treaty forward. I have fond memories of my two years there.
With that, Mr. McKay, could you describe the consultation process your organization has participated in with government officials since 2002 to help create this proposed legislation moving forward...?
