Thank you, Chair. I appreciate the time.
Thank you, everyone, for joining us here today.
I think one of the common things we've heard in this presentation, from all of your testimony, is the opportunities that come with a strong economy within your nation. I was wondering—and anyone can take the floor: the friends from the IRC or Ms. Whitford—if maybe we can expand on that more often. When you are able to have the environment to create that growth, to create that economic growth, the strength of that turns into more spinoff jobs, better education, better opportunities. It just flourishes, the community as a whole. That just continues on.
I don't know who wants to talk first. I think Chief Wapass wants to; and then Ms. Whitford, we'll go to you next.
