Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Since this will be our final round of testimony from folks, I want to thank all of you sincerely for being here today. As my friend Mr. McLeod mentioned, it is a good day when many indigenous people can occupy this place and provide testimony to take up space. I think that's the room and space that we're allowed, and I really appreciate that.
Now I want to turn to what are important questions that have to be answered by the Metis Settlements in relation to its relationship with the Métis Nation of Alberta. In particular, it's about the process you've taken in order to attempt to find a common solution and a common ally in this information.
I understand that there may have been correspondence between the two groups.
Can you explain the history of correspondence and how that history of correspondence is related to the two groups? Where do you folks stand today?
