Okay.
Finally, I want to close with a question.
In 2023 I attended the federal-provincial-territorial ministers' meeting. At that time we asked if first nations matter. Based on the last two years of delay, silence and avoidance, the answer appears to be no.
We are asking again here today as the representatives of IPCO and our proud first nation communities: Do we matter? We hope we do.
Thank you.
