Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for attending. I appreciate your presence here and the background materials you've provided both today and over the last several months.
I want to first congratulate you for the formation of your coalition and your continued work together. I think that's a way of working that deserves to be commended.
My first question would be to the chair. Mr. McKay, welcome.
As far back as 2009, concerns have been raised, including those you issued in a press release, Mr. McKay, with regard to frustrations with the government's failure to actually implement its obligations under the land claim. You'd expressed concerns that the government was neither fulfilling its obligations nor following the spirit and intent, and that it was very difficult to move forward with economic opportunities when you didn't get the basic funds promised under the agreement for basic infrastructure, education, and so forth.
Mr. McKay, do you feel the government has taken any action since the coalition expressed its concerns two years ago, or do you still hold the same concerns?
