Thank you very much, and thanks to the three of you for being here.
I also thank all the committee members who have supported making this study finally happen. I'm thrilled that we're able to have this discussion on such a critical issue, and I hope that, over the next few meetings with witnesses, all of us will not only understand why this is a critical issue, not just for Yukon but for North America, but also reflect on the concrete steps that can be taken to address this situation.
Chief Tom, to start with you, in your opening comments you described yourself as a mother. I know you have a family, of whom you're very proud, and you have a community right in the middle of Yukon—the hub of the Yukon, as they say—Carmacks, Yukon, in a very beautiful location. However, I wonder if you can describe the impact on your community and family from the state of chinook salmon, including the fish camps and the tradition around the fish camps.
