[Member spoke in Mi'kmaq]

I was telling Albert, as a Mi'kmaq speaker, “Welcome to this committee,” and I thanked him for being here.

I'm very glad to hear the presentation.

I'm wondering, Albert, whether you could start off by describing the challenges on reserve in acquiring land. Do you think there's adequate land available in many of the reserves across Canada for the housing needs our communities are dealing with?
