Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much to the witnesses for coming here today.

Chief, from what I understand, Saskatchewan is almost in a unique situation. There are 74 first nations, and only a handful of them actually participate in the First Nations Land Management Act. From what I understand, I see the economic potential of the First Nations Land Management Act benefiting northern Saskatchewan.

From the conversation we had coming to the committee, in regard to the capacity of the Prince Albert Grand Council, for instance, how many are actually participating in the First Nations Land Management Act, or are actually negotiating in that process?
