Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am happy to be here today to be able to ask my questions.
I am proud that it is our International Inuit Day today and that we are taking part in it.
First, I want to ask Ken this. You are super educators yourself and you have experienced being sent to school and colonialized. In reading all your material, this is what you have informed us of. Now, considering your knowledge and your education, when you are negotiating to have your self-government and when you state that Bill C-53 is not a bill to claim lands, what I'm asking is, if you were to get your self-government, would you be able to go forward without any lands?
