Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's an honour to be here today, to be with you.
Chief Woodhouse Nepinak, my dad was a coal miner in Unama'ki for probably 35 years. He didn't say a lot, but he would often say to me that he never learned much when he was talking. It was about listening. I really want to thank you and others who are here today and who have had some sidebar conversations. I hope to have more.
National Chief, I want to take this opportunity to give you the time to talk a little bit more. There may be things here that you want to unpack in relation to proposed sections 5 and 6. You talked about free, prior and informed consent. It might be something you didn't get a chance to speak to. I want to give you this time to communicate that to us. I may have a question or two, or this can be a simple matter of time for you to use.
