Mrs. Isabelle Dupuis (Acting Director, First Nations Land Management Directorate, Community Opportunities Branch, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you very much. Those are excellent questions. I'll try to do my best to give you a proper answer. I may ask my colleagues for help, since these are very important matters for the committee and for parliamentarians.

First, about the abilities of the land managers, we have a lot of tools in place to help them, a lot of programs. My colleagues mentioned the Lands Advisory Board, which is really a partner. These are people who work very hard with us to ensure the regime's success.

I would also like to mention that we have colleagues in the regions who provide continuous support to land managers. When land managers take on these very serious responsibilities, our colleagues in the regions ensure that they have the essential tools for the regime to be successful.
