Thank you for that, Chief.
Building on the same general theme, one discussion that's come up a great deal is how, for the reasons you just outlined—the very clear failures of Canada to meet its treaty obligations to first nations over many years and many decades, and the need to ensure that indigenous peoples benefit from economic development and growth going forward—one of the potential benefits of this legislation would be to allow a greater role for indigenous peoples to benefit from projects they might put forward and that might be accelerated under this project of national interest framework.
I understand that at least one nation in northern Alberta, the Fort McKay First Nation, has actually submitted a proposal to this committee that includes a project it would like to see put forward.
I'm wondering if you could speak to whether meaningful indigenous consultation, and meaningful indigenous participation and benefit in those economic projects would be a step toward building the trust and building toward reconciliation, as you were describing.
