Thank you very much, Chair.
I always enjoy listening to you, Chief Louie. It's very stimulating for me.
I did want to say that I have made several trips to the St. Eugene resort over the last several years. I live in Sparwood, so I go there several times a year. My environmental study of the golf course is frustrating and ongoing and my financial study at the casino is not going well. Having said that, it is a great place to go. Chief Sophie has done a phenomenal job there, as has Chief Kathryn as well. They have an exceptional resort there.
Having said that, I did want to speak about a couple of things that you had mentioned and go from there.
First of all, I did want to congratulate you, Chief, on the most recent announcement by the Premier of British Columbia with regard to the new jail that is going to be built on your land, as I understand it. I wonder if you could speak a little bit about that with regard to economic development, what it means for you and your peoples, and where you see that going. Do you see that as an opening from the province in that there's an opportunity here that you've just been missing, and now you see a great opportunity to move forward?
I have a second question that I wanted to ask you, Chief Louie. You mentioned that the formula is wrong. What do you think is the proper formula? Is there something that you would suggest? I'm sure you have suggested it to the minister, but I'd like to hear it here.
We could just start with those two questions, and then if I have time, Chair, we'll go from there.
