Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
National Chief, I've remembered where we met: It was on October 23, when you came to testify as part of our study on critical minerals. We had a discussion about the infrastructure needed.
Earlier, you talked a bit about the indigenous loan guarantee program. Earlier this week, a witness named Ms. Pruden told us that one of the issues was the lack of technical support. Meeting the various administrative measures related to the loan guarantee program does require some technical knowledge, and she told us that a number of communities were having trouble with that.
We want this to be an efficient and effective program. I don't know what could be done here. I don't know how you see this. Is it something simple and user-friendly? If you have any advice for the committee on that, it could be very helpful.
