Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, thank you to each of the witnesses for being here today.
I just wanted to comment to Grand Chief Stonefish that you can be assured that your concerns have not fallen on deaf ears today. I appreciate your sharing of your concerns regarding the spiritual connections and the cultural and spirituality considerations that we should take into consideration. However, I need to remind you—and I don't think I would need to remind you—that we are somewhat limited in our ability to award land. As you pointed out, it's not widely available in terms of just saying you can have this land.
I have a couple questions to ask Deputy Grand Chief Hare. You gave us a six-page document here, with nine recommendations.... Oh, was it ten? I have nine.
Had you the chance to formally discuss these with the Assembly of First Nations during the consultation process? And what kind of response did you receive during that process?
