Thank you, Madam Chair.
The Yellowhead Institute's red paper on land back makes the connection between colonialism and the loss of biodiversity. I want to just read from the red paper briefly:
...the matter of land back is not merely a matter of justice, rights or “reconciliation”...Indigenous jurisdiction can indeed help mitigate the loss of biodiversity and climate crisis.
Mr. Willy, you have spoken a lot today about the economic impacts of land back. Can you also share your perspective, at a time of global biodiversity loss, of the benefit to all Canadians when it comes to the biodiversity implications of land back?
