I call this meeting to order. We have a quorum.
This is meeting eight of the Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development. We're continuing, of course, with our review of the Species at Risk Act.
We have a number of witnesses with us today. We want to welcome to the table National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo from the Assembly of First Nations. We have the chairman of the Elders Council, Pat Marcel, from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation. We have Joshua McNeely, who is the regional facilitator, from the Maritime Aboriginal Peoples Council.
I want to welcome all three witnesses to the table. As I instructed earlier, you have 10 minutes each for your opening comments.
National Chief Atleo, could you start us off?
