Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here. When you came in, we briefly had a conversation about the work you were doing in the past few days in western Canada.
I have been to Haida Gwaii. It was a great experience. I wish more people in Canada could go there. I really do, because there is such historical, strong culture there. It is important to see and experience that.
I'm thinking about the model that is developing here. We talk about economic reconciliation. It has been 50 years. Fifty years is a long time. I'm an old guy, so 50 years ago.... I'm still alive and many people in this room...50 years ago. I remember that. What is your view on how you changed the process? We are talking about economic reconciliation. We've seen 50 years. I agree that the federal level is where it's at. The provincial can be a challenge, but the federal level is the one where the leadership has to come from. Fifty years is a long time.
What are your thoughts?
