Even before the association, I must mention that our members have been working with local indigenous communities for decades. OPG is a very good example of that, and Manitoba Hydro, Nalcor, Nova Scotia Power and B.C. Hydro. Many companies across the country are working with indigenous communities.
In 2016, the CEA board of directors, the CEOs of all of these companies, agreed to go beyond their local activities. They wanted to indicate their commitment at the national level.
One of the things we do at the association is to bring these members together and share best practices, somewhat like what you are doing right now, trying to understand what's happening across the country in terms of best practices. We do that with these members around the table and we share what each other is doing.
I would say the commitment goes back many decades, but at the association level, during the last five years, we have been putting a lot of emphasis on indigenous activities. We have been meeting with indigenous leaders. I personally had the opportunity to go to Yukon and meet with people such as Peter Kirby, who has a great hydro-power project in northern B.C.
We try to learn and we try to educate our members about what's happening across the country as well.
