Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you to our guests for being here today.

My questioning will be particularly on the supplementary estimates dealing with specific claims.

I think you mentioned earlier that you anticipate 60 claims being settled this year. What does that mean when you say that 60 will be settled this year? Does that mean if a particular band is looking for its land claim, it will get that land at the end of this year, or does that mean we will now start the process of negotiating with all the other stakeholders that are in that area?

See context to find out what was said next.
