Thank you very much.
Thank you to both of you, ministers, for appearing.
Thank you to all the officials for being here as well.
Minister Anandasangaree, I know that you feel very strongly about economic reconciliation. You refer to it often, including at this committee. I was reflecting on that topic as it was raised many times during the intergovernmental forum last week when there was a strong Yukon presence here for Yukon Days. We welcomed many chiefs to Ottawa, as you know, as well as first nation leaders, the premier and several ministers.
I'll also note, with the goal of economic reconciliation and first nation economic development, how important it is that we pursue the implementation of modern treaties. Of course, as you know, 11 of Canada's modern treaties are with first nations in the Yukon.
I was also reminded of how important it is to renew the fiscal relationship between Canada and self-governing first nations, as reflected in the collaborative fiscal framework policy, and of how Yukon first nations are really depending on the completion of this framework.
I wonder if you could update me specifically on this from your point of view regarding progress on the collaborative fiscal policy, where we are and where you expect we should be going.
