Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

This is my first time on this committee. I'm very pleased to hear from first nations that they were involved in developing this bill and that they are satisfied with their participation.

Mr. Wright, in addition to our government's obligation to consult first nations, we also had obligations under the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To what extent do you believe that Bill C‑10 reflects the declaration that Canada signed on to?
