Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister, in his address to the committee of the whole, emphasized the importance of reaching impact and benefit agreements with communities and aboriginal organizations. Further, there are regions that are still in land negotiations, but yet the government continues to issue permits in certain areas, sometimes against the wishes of those communities.
Mr. Speaker, can the Minister tell me how many impact and benefit agreements have been signed between this government, communities and aboriginal organizations? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
