Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know that we have a bunch of accountants in the room—Mr. Calla, Mr. Berna, Mr. Daniels and me—so we could talk monetization and some of these things for probably 25 minutes, not five minutes. I want to be really quick and spend my five minutes looking at the first nations infrastructure institute and monetization.
In CIRNAC department plans since 2019, there has been mention of the creation of and support for a first nations infrastructure institute. That's several years. The data clearly shows that it takes five times longer to get a project built on a first nation. This is a barrier that needs to be removed.
I'll throw this question open to any of the folks here, but I think Mr. Jules spoke quite a bit about this. If there were one message that this committee could get in the final report to Parliament, what would it be regarding the first nations infrastructure institute and how it would be beneficial? How can we get this across the finish line? I guess that is fundamentally my question.
