Thank you, Chair, and thank you, witnesses.
Grand Chief, thank you for being with us today. I appreciate what you've brought up. We have lots of potential here in Canada, and you talked about the potential investment and potential of indigenous communities benefiting from some of these developments, the mining developments.
I'm up in northern B.C. with oil and gas. It's huge. It dramatically affects our indigenous populations in a positive way, bringing economic activity to really everybody in the north, but we see this challenge. We heard from Mr. Coates, who talked about this endless delay in the regulatory approval process.
I have just a simple question: How can we do better as regulators to make this process better?
There have been other answers given in part to that question, but can I start with Grand Chief Bosum? How can we do better as regulators with these projects, to see us get across the finish line sooner?
