Dennis Bevington at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thanks to the witnesses.

I'm going to start off with Mr. Gailus. I want to explore your knowledge of the capacity within the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development for land management, as you saw it from your history there. Is there sufficient capacity, personnel, within that department to effect the myriad of changes that are required—the third-party interests that are required to be analyzed for each land transaction?
