[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]

Thank you. First of all, I'd like to welcome you and thank you for coming to us and giving us an update on what you do.

I have a question for Harold Calla from the First Nations Financial Management Board. I was shocked when he talked about the Trans Mountain pipeline.

How did the First Nations Financial Management Board reconcile with the first nations who had opposed the Trans Mountain pipeline? When it comes to economic development, how do you arrive at agreements when you disagree on certain ways and methods of doing things? How do you resolve those issues on economic development?
