Jim Prentice at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for welcoming me here.

I spent quite a bit of time at this particular committee, a short time ago in a previous Parliament, so it's always nice to come back and see lots of bright young faces here this morning.

Welcome to the students. I know they're going to see a display of great patience, cooperation, and dignity from all of the parliamentarians at the table today.
