I'd like to call the meeting to order.
We want to thank our presenters for being here. We have a large number of presenters today—I believe we have six groups. At ten minutes each, it's going to take the better part of an hour, and we want to get started early to be able to leave some time for questioning.
Just to let the committee know, Madame Demers has a notice of motion, but she's prepared to waive it until next meeting. We appreciate that very much.
We want to get right to our presenters. We thank you all for coming. We want you to relax and enjoy the meeting; we're looking forward to your presentations to us.
Instead of introducing all of you at the beginning, because there are so many, I'll just introduce you as we give you the floor, and if you have others who are with your delegation, then you can introduce them as well. But I'll introduce the presenters.
To start with, we have from Manitoba.... I'm going to pronounce this wrong, I know. Maybe I'll just ask George Neepin.
Chief, would you please introduce yourself?
I don't see him.
