Okay.
Since the signing of our treaty in 1975, through our openness to engagement we have concluded over 80 agreements of all natures. We've argued for many years that the full recognition of indigenous rights is not a threat to development. Instead, it is the necessary condition for orderly and sustainable development to take place.
By incorporating our rights into the development equation, and by finding the right mix between rights, development and governance, we have repeatedly created a win-win situation for our people and our communities, for industry, for our region and for Quebec as a whole. This must surely be a way for the future if we are ever to get beyond the dead ends of paternalism and colonialism.
Meegwetch.
