Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My question is for Ms. Meawasige. You spoke a little bit about blockades in Manitoba with Manitoba Hydro. We know that indigenous communities across Canada have felt the need to use blockades to protect their communities as a result of many things you've already mentioned, such as issues around overcrowded housing and access to clean drinking water. They have also communicated very clearly, I know in Manitoba, that sometimes their voice is not respected at decision-making tables.
Can you talk a little bit about why it's important for indigenous nations to have autonomy over these kinds of decisions, and what we can learn from the Manitoba situation?
