Jenica Atwin at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to our witnesses for being with us.

I am joining you all from the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Wolastoqey today.

I'd like to direct my questions to Chief Haymond, if I could.

I'm really interested in learning more about the consultation process and your personal experience developing this replacement to the Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act. I'm wondering if you could explain what kinds of supports the government may have provided for individual first nations to participate in this process.
