Thank you.

Wela’liek, Blaire, for your presentation today. MK showcases a model between the department and AFN that is succeeding in what you're doing. I understand just now that you signed a 10-year agreement in 2019.

For all those first nations out there who would like to replicate the successes of MK, what would you recommend on how communities can get to a sectoral self-government for communities that want to work together on this?
