Uqaqtittiji, I congratulate the minister on her appointment and her election.
I am going to ask about Chief Monias from the Pimicikamak first nation, who, when the state of emergency was declared there, made remarks regarding the importance of treaty relationships, as well as making sure that, because of that treaty relationship, they have ready access to all ministers.
The chief has since stated they have only had one meeting with the minister and that their needs are not being heard and their voices are not being heard. They are saying they are not asking for charity, but are asking for their treaty relationship to be respected. I wonder if she can share with us how she is reconciling what we are hearing from chiefs in first nations with what she shared with us in her statement today.
