Thanks, Madam Chair. Has the Minister actually had any communications whatsoever with any of the Indigenous governments over the need for this board to continue? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. Given that we have already started to make some reasonable in-roads into the free entry system under the Mineral Resources Act where Indigenous governments are going to get notice of people wanting to stake claims, there may be requirements around work plans for work to be conducted as part of mineral exploration and given to Indigenous governments. I am just wondering why we continue to have this colonial structure in place, and is the Minister prepared to look at whether we need to continue this Surface Rights Board? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. What happens if there is no arrangement reached? Do we have to keep paying for this ourselves, then, out of our own funds? Thanks, Madam Chair.

Thank you, Madam Chair. The Financial Management Board has directed us to go back to them if we are not able to renegotiate with the federal government. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thanks, Madam Chair. I know the clock is ticking down. I really do want to urge the Minister to look at the need for this. I don't think there is a need for it anymore, and it needs to be rejigged in a way that recognizes legitimate rights of people who have surface interests, whether they are Indigenous or not. I just think that this kind of colonial approach needs to be revisited and probably done away with. Thanks, Madam Chair.
