Thank you, Mr. Wuttunee, for participating today. It is much appreciated.
I have a couple of questions for you because I truly appreciate the centre of excellence model you've created for Saskatchewan first nations. We owe it to you to learn lessons from you and the first nations that you represent.
You mentioned equity. You mentioned royalties. The ministry of natural resources, the office of major projects and the government would be more than interested in your thoughts.
We've announced a loan guarantee program. We actually increased it from $5 billion to $10 billion. We're making a massive investment from that side. I understand, from you, that there are many other considerations in creating agreements with first nations.
I would be interested to hear from you. Maybe you could talk a little bit today, but I would also be interested if you could submit to the committee, as part of our study, templates of what it should look like. I am not asking for a certain percentage. I'm asking for a sketch that we could start with that actually covers all the elements that should be a part of it.
Can we leverage that fund? What else should we consider? What would be a good template?
