Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the department officials for coming today, Mr. Wernick and Ms. Swords.
As one of my colleagues mentioned, we are doing a study on land use and sustainable economic development, and in that process we are hearing things on the land management. As well, we've heard some things about additions to reserves.
Mr. Wernick, you touched a little bit on what's going on with regard to additions to reserves and some of the difficulties there. Do you have some specific details you could provide us on what the department is doing to improve the processes associated with lands and economic development programs?
