As I stated earlier, in terms of us at Wolf Lake, we entered into negotiations in 2020. Since then, we've been engaged in Canada's process. It is the most recent process that I'm more familiar with. I know the chiefs before me had different processes, which I mentioned, in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.
This current process of negotiation has been challenging. When I entered into these negotiations, we received a mandate letter from the former minister, Carolyn Bennett. In her letter, she referred to a comprehensive process for the people of Wolf Lake. However, in the negotiation, it is far from comprehensive.
Since then, we've had Minister Miller,Minister Anandasangaree, and today we have Minister Alty. Also, a departmental split happened. We have CIRNAC and ISC. When we talk about reserve creation, we know that we need to involve ISC, but some of the messaging I get is like ping-pong. Who do we talk to?
A political mandate to do the right thing is needed for the people of Wolf Lake, for us to have justice and to resolve this issue.
