Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to the witnesses for coming out today.
I had the pleasure of meeting with you and talking to you about some of your issues. As someone who's new to a lot of these issues, I want to fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge. I understand that comprehensive land agreements cover a wide variety of issues that would include land, water, natural resources, and various other things.
First of all, what issues does the land claims coalition represent with respect to the land claims agreements? Second, how is your mandate determined? I know you're made up of members who are signatories to modern treaties, but how is the land claims coalition's mandate determined?
That question is open to anybody who wants to take a stab at it.
