Thank you. As I said at the beginning, one of the challenges this government faced in coming to power in 2015 was the fact that the previous government had gutted environmental assessment processes and had essentially eroded the social licence to be able to get any major projects built in this country.
That was true for communities and particularly true indigenous communities. We made a commitment to address this in the context of the continuing work that was being done on Trans Mountain, and we made a commitment to actually fix this process more generally. That was what we did through the Impact Assessment Act.
One of the most important changes made in the Impact Assessment Act was early engagement with indigenous communities on all projects that are subject to a federal environmental review. That is very important to ensure that communities understand and have an opportunity to weigh in. We also went beyond that and said that many of these communities actually are really interested in being participants in projects, whether it's hydrogen projects, critical minerals projects, transmission lines or a range of other things, and we created tools like the indigenous loan guarantee program to allow access to low-cost capital for indigenous communities to be partners in these projects moving forward.
