Taylor Chamberlain (Negotiator, Northwest Territories Negotiations Directorate, Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Hi, I'm Taylor Chamberlain. I'm the lead negotiator for the final self-government agreement for the Tłegǫ́hłı̨ Got’įnę.

If I can add anything, I just want to acknowledge Shannon Shannon, who was the federal negotiator on this agreement for about a decade. She put a lot of love and effort into this agreement. We learned on May 8 that she had passed.

We hope to bring this agreement to fruition through this session, but I do want to acknowledge the amount of hard work that went into it and the people who may not be able to see us get to this next step. Thank you.
