Thank you for having me here today.
Mr. Wuttunee, it's clear that you see the importance of industrial mining and development across the country, and you mentioned how you are fighting for indigenous groups not only to engage and participate in this development but also to have equity and leadership in these developments. You mentioned how it's important to protect lands and waters while, at the same time, having responsible development.
The Liberal government, through the recent signing of the Kunming-Montreal global biodiversity framework, has a plan to prohibit development on 30% of Canada's lands and waters by 2030 and 50% of Canada's lands and waters by 2050. Do you think prohibiting development on half of your lands would have a huge negative effect on indigenous communities, especially those that rely heavily on natural resource and mining sectors?
