Good afternoon. Bonjour, Madam Chair. My name is Paul Betsina. I'm with the Yellowknives Dene first nation.
To give you a brief history on Det'on Cho Corporation, we are the economic arm of the Yellowknives Dene first nation. Currently, we are into our 30th year of business here in the north. That all started with a $15,000 grant, which was envisioned by our elders to move our first nation into business. Since then, we've grown and we have certainly had our ups and downs as a corporation, but we are still here and still willing to do business. We want to be the aboriginal partner of choice for the north, in the future and beyond, to expand within Canada.
