Thank you.
Thank you, National Chief. It's great to see you again. You were one of the first individuals I met as a newly sworn-in MP in the new government, and you made me feel very welcome, and I appreciate that greatly.
The new government is one that stands on the progress of other governments, like the work you mentioned of prime ministers Martin, Harper and Trudeau. As has been discussed, reconciliation is a long road that requires us to move backwards and address past wrongs, but we also know we don't have a time machine and we need to move forward and walk paths together in a better way.
Of course, one of the ways that needs to be done is through free, prior and informed consent. One of the things we've heard from other witnesses is that capacity building is very important.
I'm wondering if you could take the opportunity to expand on capacity building. What is your view of the level of resourcing—obviously we have heard that needs to be increased—but also the approach to capacity building that's been taken? Are there things the government should consider as it looks at critical minerals?
