Thank you, Mr. Chair.

First of all, I'd like to welcome you all.

Jocelyn, I'd like to greet you personally, as I went to law school with you at the University of Ottawa.

First, I will ask a short question. The 2022 budget was presented yesterday. Have you read it and researched it thoroughly for aboriginal benefits?
