Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, I made great efforts, and the department did as well, to engage with as many Indigenous governments as we could last summer. I personally attended every meeting where I knew leadership would be in attendance so I could hear directly from them. I spent hours of time discussing the curriculum. And so yes, I met leader to leader and the departments met at the officials level. Of course, no one ever has enough time, and I wish there was more engagement, but we did do our best to engage. And when we sent out invites or requests to meet and we didn't hear back, I would make personal calls to try and set up meetings. So I did my best. Thank you.
