Thank you, Chair. Thank you, Minister, for being here today.
Before I get to my questioning, I just want to say that as a former mayor, I fully understand the full disclosure of financials. Sometimes when they are done—in fact, all times when they are done—they resolve many problems before they become problems. Certainly, the burden placed on elected officials is minimal, is expected, and is certainly not intrusive.
Having said that, will the proposed legislation create any additional paperwork for first nations?
