Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank you, Deputy Grand Chief, for taking the time to be with us today and for sharing this really important testimony.
For my first question, you talked about the reality that many of your people are having moderate to extreme food insecurity and that there's an incredible need to revisit the food system. The way it is currently is simply not working is what I think you said, and subsidies are not the only solution. There really needs to be a system change.
You also talked about the nutrition north program investing in subsidizing food companies rather than the local community. Could you speak to that? I'm just wondering if there's any interest in looking at ways in which there can be an increase of local food production or in bringing those businesses to the community, so that it benefits and also improves food security. I'm curious about that. Thank you.
