Thank you, Madam Chair. Yes, the Department of Lands obviously is engaged and is undertaking consultation on a regular basis, and there is the potential for impacts to many of the Indigenous governments because of the sheer number. For example, within land administration, regardless of what the size of the parcel may be, we're obligated and must undertake consultation which, at some times, can be overwhelming for some of the Indigenous governments, depending upon what capacity they have. One of the challenges we had through COVID is when people were sent home originally, working from home, office were working under skeleton crews at times, but trying to take that into consideration.

But to get back to your point, one of the things that we've been doing regularly over the last several months is working with other departments to understand how the impacts of consultation are potentially affecting Indigenous governments, and looking at a more coordinated approach to try to gain more efficiency and less impactful, I guess, undertakings that we are involved with to try to manage that, because it's been pretty loud and clear that we're hearing that on an ongoing basis. Thank you.
