Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let me add my voice to my colleagues' in welcoming you here and thanking you for taking time to spend part of your day with us.
When we look over what happens with some of the treaties, and how they are devised and put together, some of the questions that come to mind are things like how much debt the first nations will accumulate through the B.C. treaty process, the loan-handling process. We know there are costs involved here. What are those costs like? Can you share with us what the costs are and how the money is spent?
