Thank you, Commissioner, for those opening comments. It's great to have you here with us.
I will now be turning the screen over to President Kotierk.
Witnesses, I would ask, if suitable, if you would keep your cameras on. Then we can see everyone for the whole time. It's nice to see faces even though virtual.
I've just received a nice note from Ms. Idlout to say today is also National Indigenous Languages Day. I think it's important that we acknowledge that.
Thank you for that information, Ms. Idlout. I knew that and heard about it on the news this morning. It's all the more reason and very timely that we're having this conversation today. It's really important that we acknowledge and recognize the resources and supports that are needed to go with any changes we make to make sure that it is successful.
President Kotierk, welcome.
