Thank you.
I really appreciate this conversation. One of the chiefs in my riding once said to me that one of the most frustrating parts is this process of incremental justice. It's a little bit, a little bit, and you're just not getting to the place that I really hear clearly from you is where you want to get.
I appreciate so much what you're talking about, that this is a government. As a government, all other governments in Canada have the right to free, prior and informed consent. Why is that indigenous governance structures are not the same? You talked a lot about industry. I know that an industry isn't going to do well in my riding when they come to see me to ask for an introduction to indigenous communities. Their leadership comes to see me and their indigenous manager goes to see the government of the nation.
I'm wondering if you could talk about what you think this bill will do to start to get other industries and other governments in Canada to understand that this is a governance structure that they are talking to.
