Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all our witnesses today.
Let me say first of all that the discussion this morning is productive. It will certainly be informative to the committee. Moreover, it will help the government put words into action and build a nation-to-nation relationship. To do this, the first nations will, however, need greater independence, in my opinion.
Mr. Calla, Ms. Trottier, would you recommend the First Nations Fiscal Management Act of 2005 as a starting point, and then making changes to it?
Or do you think a complete overhaul is needed to modernize the financial management of first nations reserves?
