Ms. Patricia Myran (Assistant Director, Treaty and Aboriginal Rights Research Centre of Manitoba) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

My name is Patricia. I'll answer the questions, if you don't mind.

What changes would I recommend in the specific claims process? Last year the joint technical working group was formed between AFN, INAC, and several research directors across Canada. They formed four subcommittees to deal with four issues only. These were funding, claims over $150 million, negotiation and mediation, and offhand I forget the last one. On one of the subcommittees on funding, we didn't get very far. I sat on the subcommittee.
