Thanks, Mr. Chair, and thanks to the presenters.
There's a principle that we should talk about when we talk about land in aboriginal communities. In the region I come from, there's a very strong sense of collective land ownership that is a very strong part of the cultural values of first nations, as I understand. There's a great sense of their wanting no further alienation from the land as well.
When we're talking about land modernization, are we talking about moving away from what first nations have as a traditional collective sense of what land is? Is that one of the fundamental issues that we're talking about here?
