It has been around seven generations since [English] Confederation started, and in many aboriginal cultures, including The Chair (Hon. Rob Moore (Fundy Royal, CPC)): Good mine—I'm from Curve Lake First Nation—seven generations is an morning, everybody. Welcome to the Standing Committee on important cultural touchstone. We try to think seven generations into Canadian Heritage. the future in all the decisions we make and in regard to what impact we'll have on those generations, and we try to guide our planning As we continue our study on Canada's 150th birthday, we're very and priorities appropriately. pleased to have a panel that I think will bring a lot to the table when it comes to our discussion. So it has been seven generations since Confederation began and, We welcome Peter Dinsdale, who is the chief operating officer for as you know, our collective joint histories have taken many turns the Assembly of First Nations. throughout this history. Really, it started off as an economic relationship. By no means were there embassies of peace and We have with us David MacKenzie, who is the deputy minister, friendship sent across the ocean: they were looking for trade Department of Tourism and Culture, with senior responsibility for missions and wealth to bring back. Our first relationship was very Prince Edward Island's 150th anniversary. That's certainly a much an economic one. perspective we're interested in hearing about. Thank you for being here, David. Quickly, as our history unfolded, it turned into a military relationship, where there was some antagonism and some support. We have with us Deborah Apps, president and chief executive Without the first nations in the War of 1812, we probably would be officer of the Trans Canada Trail, and Paul LaBarge, chair of the American right now. We probably would not be Canadian, in all Trans Canada Trail. Paul has some experiences that we know will be honesty. So I think there's an important joint history there that we've relevant to our study that we were just discussing. shared in developing this country together. Welcome to our panel. You will each be given 10 minutes for your opening remarks,. Then we'll go into a question and answer period. Then we have this idea of treaties, of treaty building and nation We'll go in the order that appears on our agenda and start with Peter building across the country.

Our role is not to act as a government; we're clearly not a government. We're an advocacy body on behalf of It really seems that why it's important that this conversation is first nations and are directed by them as to what areas they want us to happening today is that we're starting to have a bit of a switch into be responsible for.
