Thank you, Frédéric. Thank you very much, Ms. Beaudoin.
I believe the next four groups are with the first nations.
It might be helpful when you start your remarks if you indicate where you're from. I know some people went to pretty great lengths to get here. I think Ms. Joseph drove 600 kilometres from the north to get here. Mr. Johnston, who was here earlier for a one-minute statement, drove 400 kilometres, I believe. That will go on the record as well. If you could do that it might be helpful to the committee members as well.
With the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, we welcome Chief Steve Smith.
