James Bezan at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

I call this meeting to order.

We're running a little late. We had an exciting afternoon in the House, with the arrival of all of the Olympic athletes and the Paralympic athletes. It was fantastic seeing all of those great representatives of our nation in Vancouver.

We have an agenda before everyone. This is meeting 11. We'll go for one hour with the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples. We have Mr. Alastair MacPhee, and he's joined by Joshua McNeely, who's no stranger to this committee. He was here just a week ago.

Then by video conference we have, from the Walpole Island First Nation, Councillor Kennon Johnson. Welcome.

You have somebody with you there, assisting you.
