Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for your presentations. As I was listening intently, Mr. Skudra, you spoke to many of the successes that the indigenous peoples have had in terms of business success and in terms of trade. It's fabulous to hear that. I think, through the consultations that we've heard and we've received as a government, over 22,000 submissions have come in. Through many of those submissions and many of the conversations that have been had with indigenous peoples, the minister and our government proudly put forward having as a priority of ours an indigenous chapter within NAFTA, and we think this is terrific.
We're going to push forward with our table, with our trade negotiators. They're being informed by many of these discussions and conversations at the table.
If that chapter does not make it into that final agreement of NAFTA, what other options would you like Canada to pursue with our other two trading partners?
