Thank you very much to all of you for being here today on the traditional lands of the Algonquin people.
On behalf of the committee—I know we've already mentioned it—we do apologize for the interruption and the delay in starting the proceedings.
From what Ms. McIvor is saying and from what the chiefs are saying, there appear to be two major issues here. One is admission into the particular communities and the other is entitlement to be registered under the Indian Act.
Recognizing that “nation to nation” does have a specific meaning, could all three of you you give us some guidance as to how we can reconcile that? All of you had very compelling arguments in your favour, but we would like to get a sense of whether it is possible to reconcile these two trajectories.
