Thank you, Madam Chair.

Good morning, everyone. It's nice to see you all here. Thank you for being here.

I am in a rural Nova Scotian community, and we have a very active small theatre here.

I'm going to ask my first questions of Ms. Brewin.

Here in northern Nova Scotia, we have a lot of indigenous-led arts and culture happening. I'm wondering, based on your experiences, how you would say indigenous-led arts and culture spaces and programming contribute to reconciliation and cultural revitalization.
