Thank you.
Thank you for your testimony.
In your opening comments you indicated that in your opinion first nations ought not to be held to a higher standard of accountability than other levels of government. I'm inclined to agree with that statement, but I'm curious. There are two ways to remedy the situation. One is to bring other levels of government up, or, alternatively, if this piece of legislation were to hold first nations to a higher level of account, to lower them.
I wonder whether you have an opinion as to where the bar ought to be set with respect to all levels of government, agreeing with your proposition that first nations ought to be held to the same level—not higher or lower—of accountability as other government levels.
