I just confess that I don't necessarily see the holdup here. I think we can all immediately agree that we will, in an inclusive way, invite all of these other proponents. They will have important things to say on exactly these issues that we are all discussing, on whether or not the government has made this an asset that's difficult to buy. They could talk through all of that. I, obviously, support the PBO's coming here. I don't know that those things necessarily have to be together, and I don't think we need to really.... It would surprise me if colleagues here wouldn't want all the potential indigenous-led and indigenous-owned proponents to be here.
