Thanks, and thank you as well to the witnesses for their insight and the hard work that they all have clearly contributed to getting here today.

I'm curious, as we've heard UNDRIP come up a couple of times. Specifically, I think, clause 4 in the bill does state that one of the purposes is to “contribute to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples”, so I'm wondering if each of you could take a moment to explain how, in your view, this legislation does that.
