Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for joining us here today.
I'd like to start with Mr. Swampy, if I may. I come from Kenora and the Kenora riding in northwestern Ontario covering Treaties 3, 5 and 9, as well as the Métis homeland. I can appreciate some of the frustration you conveyed in how we look at economic reconciliation and moving forward together in that respect.
With that in mind, and also considering the government's pledge to work towards UNDRIP and to respect indigenous rights across the country, I'm just wondering if you can tell the committee if you believe that any emissions cap that's obviously going to be impacting first nation development and indigenous communities across the country has to have a consultation process and, more importantly, has to have the consent of indigenous communities before it can go forward.
