Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for coming today.
Joseph, I'm just going to raise one quick point with you before I ask Phyllis some questions. I agree completely with you about the need to have services depoliticized, if you will, programs and services taken out of the business of politics, because they're far more effective. I spent a professional lifetime working on just that prior to getting elected. We've had tremendous success. It's actually been very well received by first nations governments. It would be interesting to talk to you about that.
Phyllis, first of all, welcome from Peguis First Nations. We share a common journey to Winnipeg—Mantario. I'm coming from Kenora, you're coming from Peguis. It's about the same distance, but we have an appreciation for the airport there and the drive, just to let you know. It's a beautiful community. At 7,200, it's the largest first nations community in Manitoba. I wish you and your community all the best on the new arena, which I understand is going to be the Cadillac of arenas for the community.
Phyllis, since you started the Peguis Accountability Coalition, how have you been received by chief and council?
