Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think there are other areas. I don't just speak for Frog Lake. I look at the fisheries. I look at the salmon. I also look at the wind projects. We've talked with Northland before. We tried to get one of the projects that were in southern Alberta because we have no choice. You either try to find a partner and get involved, or you just sit back and do nothing.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think what needs to happen is better communication. We have to have a vision about making Canada a better place for all people, all first nations, and owning up to the wrongs, decades of wrongdoing against the first nations people. Look at what happened in Grouard. I was born 20 miles from Grouard, in High Prairie.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Okay. I want to thank everybody in the House for listening. I want to thank my MP, Shannon Stubbs, for allowing us to come and to share, and to watch Frog Lake and many first nations who are trying to be at these tables, and to help solve the problem of poverty across Canada and make the life of the unborn a better life, the way it was supposed to be on the shared land when the treaty was signed.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I can remember back in the 1980s, when some chiefs and leaders had a vision to create Pimee Well Servicing, which employs about 150 first nations people, and we own jointly with seven bands 13 service rigs. Also, with the creation of Seven Lakes, we employ over 400 people, with 52 bands in western Canada represented.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Greetings, everybody. I'm thankful for this opportunity. I want to say I'm grateful to the Creator, first and foremost. What I want to talk about and what I want to share is economic sovereignty, first and foremost, with indigenous people. I looked at Alberta and I did some research.
