Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for being here today. I think probably all of us share the view that we only wish we had more time to hear from you and to have question exchanges.
I'm going to ask Lee some questions. He hails from my neck of the woods. I want to appreciate his pointing out the unique position of Métis settlements in Alberta. It's a point I'm trying to emphasize on behalf of Albertans repeatedly in this committee—indeed, in part because four of the eight Métis settlements are in Lakeland.
Lee, Minister Hajdu was here on Friday. She said, “we have begun to transfer funding for distinctions-based, Métis-specific programming to Métis governments.” You're an elected councillor of the Métis government in Kikino. I just want to clarify. Has Kikino received any funding from the federal government, or has anyone from the federal government reached out to the settlement?
