Thank you, Mr. Chair. I look forward to the testimony here.
I want to go back to something my colleague referred to earlier. It is interesting that he is talking about the importance of safe drinking water. I think we all understand that. We passed the Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act, which actually allows a first nation to choose whether it wants to have a system that is equivalent to a provincial one, to follow provincial laws, or to follow federal ones. It can do that, but that member's party voted against all of those changes. Sometimes it's a little shocking to me.
Mr. Perron, Mr. Allen also raised some concerns around the specific example that was given of a septic field that basically made a facility unusable. You said earlier, sir, that many of these facilities are owned, operated, and maintained by individual first nations, and I think you said we have to work within the longer scope to make sure your priorities match their priorities. Is that correct, sir?
