Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I thank the witnesses for being with us.

I will first turn to you, Chief Teegee.

You seem to support some of the elements in Bill C‑21, but you expressed concerns about some of the measures it contains, in particular red flags and yellow flags. You wonder about the applicability of these measures to your communities and worry that the rights of first nations would not be respected.

Could you tell us more about the yellow flag and red flag measures? What worries you about their applicability? You said it was unclear. What is unclear in the bill as it is currently worded?
