Thanks very much.

Thank you to all of the witnesses who are here today.

My question is for Laurie Swami.

Welcome.

First I'll say that I think the NWMO has probably set the bar high for any Canadian entity in consulting with indigenous Canadians. I think that's a fact.

My question to you is specifically on the integration of indigenous traditional knowledge. How important is it to the average everyday citizen who is living on the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, the SON? What is is the importance to that individual?
