The Chair (Mr. Michael Levitt (York Centre, Lib.)) at the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee

I call the meeting to order.

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 107th meeting of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.

We're going to be hearing from two witnesses today, after which we're going to be doing some committee business.

I want to welcome Daniel Blaikie to the committee. He's filling in for Hélène Laverdière.

Ms. Dickson, you're going to be the first witness today. Ms. Dickson is the executive director of the Arctic Athabaskan Council.

Whenever you're ready, Ms. Dickson, please begin your testimony.
