Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's very nice to see you again, National Chief.
At the heart of this, we're talking about expanding energy export ambitions at a time when you've highlighted growing concerns about previous commitments in this space not being met. Our opportunities can be developed only in partnership. As the global environment changes and as the global environment demands it, we want to take advantage of opportunities so that we all, first nations and otherwise, can benefit, prosper and be more secure.
You've identified many challenges in many different states, some historical, some long-standing and some present today, most present today, frankly. There is capacity funding that exists, but it might not be enough. There is opportunity for nations, but it's uneven.
How do we scale something that is imperfect and untailored? Can we scale something imperfect and untailored? What programs are ready to scale and what programs need to be fundamentally rethought?
