Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I don't know if it's all overarching powers that they have; I don't know if they will have more than they have now. For example, Chief Woodhouse in our community back home in Manitoba went through an appeal for $20. He lent somebody $20. In our two-year process right now we have a six-week campaign period.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you for that. I don't know if that was a comment or a question, but I haven't in my short life observed any corruption in my community in any elections. Recently we had an appeal in our community. If I could, I'd like to speak to the reasons for the appeal. One lady appealed based on the fact there were too many people in the room—scrutineers, people observing, the electoral officer.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Good afternoon, honourable members and colleague chiefs. Good afternoon everybody. I'm here on short notice, so excuse my tardiness. I don't have a presentation that's formal, but I could submit one when I get back home. I want to thank my colleague chief for having me as part of this, going back to 2009, and being here today.
