I call the meeting to order.
I would like to welcome everyone to meeting number 122 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
I apologize for a slight delay in beginning, but we will keep moving it along.
We have witnesses here today with regard to our study of Bill C-391, an act respecting a national strategy for the repatriation of aboriginal cultural property. We have Travis Gladue with us, from Bigstone Empowerment Society, and from the Canadian Museum of History, we have Dean Oliver.
We have one other witness on this list, but I just want to confirm whether she's in this room. She would be Sarah Pash from the Aanischaaukamikw Cree Cultural Institute.
All right, we're still waiting for her. What we can do is begin with the witnesses who are present.
I would also like to flag for you that you have translation services available. We have members of Parliament who will ask questions in both English and French, because we are a bilingual committee, so if you need translation services, you have earpieces you can use.
Why don't we begin with the Canadian Museum of History?
We'll begin with Dean Oliver, please.
