Brendan Hanley at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thanks to all of you for being here and for the opportunity to ask some questions.

I'm interested in the 2024 review carried out by Crown-Indigenous Relations and ISC and maybe just a bit of a larger context in order to understand what the impetus was for that review. Clearly, they were good reasons, but specifically, what was the impetus for the review?

Perhaps, Ms. Bess, you could lead off.

I'm interested in what the key takeaways really were. After seeing some of the report and the findings, I think the process seemed to be really robust. How might you apply the learnings from this report to other areas, where maybe there's still some slower progress in moving forward on some of the key files?
