We do. Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Gabriel, for being with us today on this very important topic.
Ms. Gabriel, with the expansion of the pipeline into Wet'suwet'en territory, we saw a conflict, and I know you know this well. It emerged between the hereditary leadership and the elected chiefs. Basically on one side or the other how they felt about resource development determined where people landed on that issue.
I totally recognize and agree with you that the Indian Act is paternalistic. It's archaic. It has failed indigenous people, and one day I'd actually like to see it abolished, the sooner the better.
With respect to land restitution and use, how can we be assured that, going forward, we have achieved free, prior and informed consent, especially in nations that have divided support for either model?
