Thank you all for coming here today.
I want to start with both Mr. Pakalnis and Mr. Gibson, because you both brought this up, about first nations capacity and education. I wonder if you could comment on the role the federal government should be playing in increasing access to education from elementary school on up to post-secondary for first nations. We've heard from many witnesses how important first nation communities are to the mining industry, how people are working and there is very good co-operation.
The subject keeps coming up again and again, so I wonder if both of you might want to comment on that.
