Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here today.
Minister, in your presentation here today I think it was pretty clear what the audited consolidated financial statements would include for a band, and we know them to be things that are currently already reported on.
With specific reference to chief and council, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, fees, honoraria, dividends, monetary and non-monetary benefits would be reported. In fairness, the issue that has come up is with respect to a scenario in which the expenses of the said first nations leaders have to do with a band-owned or band-operated business, or to the extent that a council member is involved in a business.
You've suggested a strong willingness to address any residual issues if there are any. Can you characterize for us what they would have to report on the audited consolidated financial statements as a result of these businesses?
