Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Willy, for your comments.
For context, I went to high school in Saskatoon. My parents were out there for 30 years teaching at the University of Saskatchewan. I've come to know the area quite a bit over my lifetime. I've been really pleased to see how much economic growth has happened based on the urban reserves, casinos and things like them.
You said something very important. You said “land potential”. This whole study is premised on the idea that if there was a restitution of land to indigenous communities, they would have the potential to add to Canada's economic growth. Can you talk a bit about what you would see as the potential for more economic growth in your region and across Canada if there was a restitution of lands to indigenous people to help grow the economy?
