Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Mr. President, for coming. It's great to see you again. I do appreciate the shout-outs in regard to your hospitality. I did enjoy meeting some of the members of the island and your citizens. We had a great time and a great conversation. You did clear up a lot of questions I had once that bill was tabled. I did appreciate your taking the time to go through it.
What I'm going to ask you is stuff we already covered when we met and in subsequent conversations. It's also just to basically pick up where you left off. Even looking at your website for the Council of the Haida Nation, your website outlines “self-sufficiency”. You're talking about economic development. You're talking about taxation. You're talking about charting and moving forward on that path. As I told you in person, that's something this side supports.
I want to go on to the natural resources part, because that's one thing.... We did talk about the lumber industry being very important to that area. How do you see that playing out? How do you see that relationship moving forward in terms of economic reconciliation as a whole?
