Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you, Chief Louie, and your colleagues, for coming here today.
This is great news. I'm going to move through some questions quickly, but like you, I'm all about the introductions. I just want to recognize Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould. It was nice to be out at the Penticton Indian Band cultural school opening. That was great. It was a bit of a homecoming for me. I did my nursing studies at Okanagan University and lived in Summerland. It's a beautiful place, and it was nice to be back.
I should also say, Chief Louie, that your being here today with your colleagues is most opportune. This committee has been moving quite effectively, I believe, toward looking at this priority, as we're hearing it from the Métis Nation, from AFN, and now, not just through the department, but through your organization. We're looking at a study around land use modernization, sustainable economic development, and I think the sustainable economic development piece necessarily brings in that environmental stewardship that you mentioned as the third point in the overview of what you're working on.
My first couple of questions, I hope, will have very brief answers. I may interject just to move it on. I apologize for that.
Just by way of review, the service you're providing the communities is to increasingly assist first nations, particularly and hopefully new entrants—I'll get to that in a second—with things like sample documents, standard templates. Are those some of the key functions?
