Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to all of you for being here this afternoon.

I want to look at free, prior, and informed consent, the impact of FPIC in practice, and how it should be reflected in the IAA.

I'm looking at one side that says free, prior, and informed consent is a veto, and the other side says that one set of rights of individuals doesn't abrogate the rights of others. I would like to get your thoughts on that.

We can go round the table. We'll start with the video monitor first. If Kluane could please give us her thoughts, and then we'll go to Terry and then the others.
