Good morning.
Welcome back, members of Parliament.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is meeting number 16 of the Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities, on Tuesday, March 25, 2014. We're continuing our study concerning opportunities for aboriginal persons in the workforce.
Today we have another robust split panel of witnesses. In the first hour, from Vale, we are joined by Mr. Cory McPhee, vice-president of corporate affairs, and Mr. Bob Carter, manager of corporate affairs. We're also joined by Mr. Colin Webster, director of aboriginal, government, and community relations for Canada and the United States at Goldcorp Inc. From Rio Tinto, we have with us Mr. Jay Fredericks, director of environment, communities, and regulatory affairs.
Welcome, gentlemen.
Our procedure is that each of you as entities will have up to 10 minutes to present. Then we will go around the table with questions.
Let's begin. I'm not sure which of you will be speaking, but let's go with the representatives from Vale. If you're splitting your time, that's fine too.
