That's wonderful news. We send our warmest congratulations to Ms. Goodridge. We're happy to hear that all went well and that she has a new family member. That's wonderful news. Thanks for sharing that, Mr. McLean.
Ms. May is with us again. It's a pleasure to have you here, Ms. May.
We will start with the first panel, which is a 45-minute panel. We have with us Chief Gerald Antoine, Dene national chief and regional chief, Northwest Territories, Assembly of First Nations. We also have, from the Fort Chipewyan Métis Nation, Carmen Wells, director, lands and regulatory management.
Typically it's a five-minute opening statement followed by questions. I know that the members are quite keen on asking questions and receiving the input you have to share through that and through your opening statements.
We will start with Chief Antoine, please.
Chief Antoine, the floor is yours.
