Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for being with us today.
My next questions will be for Chief Thomas and Chief Diabo from the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne.
As a member of Parliament from Quebec, I have met a few tunes with members of the Akwesasne community regarding, among other things, the Jay Treaty, which they are very familiar with.
Our study discusses emergency and crisis situations, in addition to the issue of the Canada—U.S. border and the many different difficulties that this causes for the Akwesasne community.
Chief Thomas and Chief Diabo, in a crisis situation that the community may be experiencing or has experienced, what additional challenges should be raised to enable you to better meet the needs of the community on both sides of the border? For you, this is really a unique case.
