Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good morning, Mr. Marshall. Thank you for being with us.
My first question is in reference to the opening remarks you made, when you stressed the importance of complying with aboriginal treaties of indigenous nations. I was not in Parliament in 2009, when the entire process started. Perhaps you were already in the association.
Can you tell me whether the consultations held in 2009 and later seemed appropriate to you in terms of the desire of indigenous peoples to be part of amending this act?
