Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for being here and sharing with us your thoughts on this bill. I'm very glad to say that we are able consult indigenous leaders in Canada. I think that's very important for this bill and for anything that may impact treaty rights and your constitutional rights.
First off, I was wondering what consultations were done with you or other indigenous leaders in Canada that you may be aware of during the formulation process of Bill C-21. Are you aware of any consultations? Have you been consulted?
Vice-Chief Bear, you can go first.
