Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Wuttunee, thank you for being here.
You said something that really caught my attention, and I thought that it brilliantly summarized the essential question in front of us. In your opening statement, you said that the question was this: How do first nations meaningfully participate as first nations in critical minerals and the energy sector?
To that point, what supports—capacity building, legal, negotiation, funding—do first nations need from the federal government to participate more fully as partners rather than as passive stakeholders?
