Madam Speaker, I want to thank my hon. colleague for the important work that our energy sector truly does, but one critical question, which is important for the House to know about, is the reality facing indigenous communities in the resource areas. What I have heard, speaking with indigenous leadership, is the fact that these companies are often predatory in their work with indigenous communities. Can the member explain how we can ensure that indigenous communities will truly see a diversified economy where they do not have to rely on selling their resources back for the penny just to go backwards?
