Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I assume this is probably the best place to be asking questions about the business plan. I just note that there's some business plan update and wanted to ask the department for -- ask the department some questions about that's.

The first one is on the negotiation mandate updates being done by 2025-2026. I've kind of -- I've said to the Minister a few times, you know, this seems like a bit of an underwhelming goal and, you know, I know there's a lot of pressure from everybody who talks about settling the land claims, getting them done, why can't we get them done quicker.

So the first question on this is, you know, why couldn't these negotiation mandate updates simply be done in a few months? Is it that it's really much more complex than it sounds? And secondly, Mr. Chair, what progress have we made thus far on the updates to these mandates? Thank you.
