Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the members of our committee here today, and to our clerk and analysts and interpreters, of course. I would very much like to thank our expert witnesses for joining us and sharing their expertise with us today.

Good afternoon. My name is Jenica Atwin. I am from Fredericton and Wolastokuk territory.
[English]
My name is Jenica Atwin. I am a member of Parliament for Fredericton and I am coming from the unceded, unsurrendered Wolastoqiyik Territory here in Fredericton.
I'd really like to dig more into the monetization of infrastructure. Through you, Mr. Chair, I found that really interesting, particularly when you were referring to the clean energy solutions' potential for northern and remote communities if they were given more buying power, perhaps through monetizing infrastructure.
I'm just wondering if you could provide more information on what it looks like to monetize first nations infrastructure. How would that help generate revenue, and what would be the best pathway to get there?
