The Chair Conservative Colin Mayes

I call to order this meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, September 26, 2006.

Here are the orders of the day. We have two witnesses today. From the University of Winnipeg, we have Mary Young, director of the Aboriginal Student Services Centre. Welcome. Also, from the B.C. First Nations Leadership Council, we have Nathan Matthew, senior advisor and negotiator for education. We thank you for being here and on quite short notice. We really do appreciate the effort.

We're going to proceed with two presentations of around 10 minutes each, and then I'll ask committee members to question you on issues related to post-secondary education, until the end of the meeting at 11.

We do have a translator, so you're going to receive some questions, I'm sure, in French. We'll make sure you're hooked up.

Mary Young, would you like to begin, please?
