Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the opportunity to address the committee.
To make everybody in the room happy, I do not have five minutes of opening comments because I'd rather answer questions.
I have been living in Yellowknife since 1977. I am a professional geologist. We work from Mary River all the way to the Casino mine in the Yukon. I have extensive experience dealing with Dene, Métis and Inuit cultures. I'm hoping I get questions on some of that, but the affordability question has been huge in NWT and probably Nunavut for many years. I hope I can answer all of your questions.
I really don't want to take up any more time. I'd rather answer questions, if that's okay with the chair.
