Thank you all for being here today.
I'm going to start with Mr. Sullivan and the Gwich'in.
You touched on the Mackenzie Valley pipeline history and you mentioned that it was a failed project, or at least it never came to pass.
I wonder if you could comment on the evolution of best practices with regard to indigenous engagement in these projects. The Mackenzie Valley pipeline process was—and I think still is—seen as revolutionary in its time for the amount of engagement: going to every community, having hearings in the indigenous languages in each community. The outcome was not that it shouldn't proceed, but it was a 10-year moratorium to let the land claims agreements proceed.
Could you elaborate on something that you went through very quickly? In the nineties there was a new process. We started with an old process—big foreign international companies—and then in the nineties there was something else.
I'll give you some time to talk about where you see that things should go in the future.
