Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here, and to Chief Desjarlais for always reminding me in Treaty No. 6 that we're all treaty people and we should always have that in our mind as we work together.
I know that JP has said multiple times that it is important for indigenous communities to be able to move from systemic poverty to exactly what you're talking about, Chief—economic reconciliation and self-determination through economic self-sufficiency.
I wonder, Chief Desjarlais, if you would like to tell Canadians and the committee a little bit more about all of your accomplishments and achievements as a community through your many years of responsible resource development, as owners and partners in this sector, as well as recent initiatives you've undertaken—of course, no surprise—leading the way on innovation and environmental responsibility with some future aspirations.
