Natural Resources committee  Yes, I believe so, from what our discussions have been. As I mentioned, we are a player in this industry. We certainly want to make sure, whatever its development, that the project is not only beneficial but necessary, and that it aligns with our values and desire to contribute to the fight against climate change.

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, for allowing me to speak to the committee. Good afternoon. It is my pleasure to be here with you to talk about Bill C-49. As chief in Membertou, our Mi’kmaq community located on Cape Breton Island, I can tell you we are focused on two things. The first is creating economic opportunities for our community and the Atlantic as a whole.
