Good morning, committee. My name is Christopher Sheppard-Buote. I'm the president of the National Association of Friendship Centres.
I want to recognize that today I'm on Treaty No. 6 territory and I am thankful for the welcome that they have shown me since being here. I am joined today by Jocelyn Formsma, who is the executive director of the national association.
We thank you for the invitation today—
