Good afternoon to everybody here and everybody back home. I know we get a lot of people watching online, and I would like to acknowledge them as well.

This is significant for our people. I think of my mom who comes from a treaty First Nation. When she married into Whitecap, she lost all her treaty rights. It would be nice to get them restored.

This is very important for everybody. We got our mandate, as the chief had mentioned, a 100% yes vote. That was an incredible night because our people want this. They gave us a mandate to become a self-governing First Nation and a self-governing treaty nation. This is incredible. We are going to make history today. I cannot see anyone standing in our way to achieve this. This is something that every First Nation across Canada should achieve. Thank you.
