Thank you.
Thank you very much for being here.
Chief Joseph, let me thank you on behalf of my colleagues for your participation in the process, the direct participation.
You're all here in support of the bill, and we appreciate that.
There are two questions I wonder if you could speak to. First, could you tell us what it would mean in real terms or give us examples of first nations communities in the province of Saskatchewan? When this bill is implemented, what will it mean for your communities? You identified that there were 95 specific claims. I don't know the value of them, the nature of them, but could you give us a little bit of insight in terms of what it would mean?
And I have a second question, if we have time. You referenced the process of developing the legislation. I wonder if you could speak to the strength of that, as you saw it, and perhaps if there were weaknesses that could be improved upon.
