Madame Chair, I appreciate that.
Thank you for coming here today. I appreciate it.
It's my first time at the Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. I'm honoured to be here. I usually sit on the health committee. I also had the honour of serving as the aboriginal relations minister in Alberta for a number of years early in the 2010s and learned a lot about the first nation communities in Alberta. I just want to say that it was an enlightening experience. It was life-changing for me; it really was. The people in the communities whom I served were just wonderful to me, and I continue to have good friends in the first nations communities in Alberta.
Theodore Johnny, I just want to focus on your career. You're, of course, a professional land manager. You talked about it in your presentation. You've been at it for about seven years now. Where did you get your training?
