Thank you, Madam Chair.

I will begin by addressing the Chief Commissioner of the First Nations Tax Commission, Mr. Jules.

Kwe.

What is your reaction to the exchange you just heard between Mr. Poilievre and Mr. Ross? Do you agree with those statements being attributed to first nations?

You know that we are currently debating in the House Bill C-15, which recognizes more indigenous rights, including the right to self-determination. Do you consider this to be a worthwhile process? It includes the obligation to consult first nations. Would you prefer that?
