Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for their presentations. Each of the presentations was a pleasure to listen to.

First of all, I have a question for Lauren.

I was very pleased to hear your presentation in regard to indigenous laws and how they need to be utilized more often. Regarding this subject, can you please explain further why that is so important, in particular, the topic of restitution of lands to first nations, Inuit and Métis?
