Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I have a few questions.

I hope I'm not reiterating anything. There's been a wide-ranging discussion on this, but I'll try to come back to some specifics.

There's the idea of meeting “the First Nation's needs for the purpose of exercising its Aboriginal and treaty rights”. What those needs are is vague. Are there any thoughts on how that would be defined or how that would be executed, should this pass?
