Good morning, members.
We are going to commence with our thirteenth meeting this morning. We are still waiting on two of our witnesses, and I'm sure they will be along shortly, but that will allow us to begin with our continuing consideration of the topic of northern economic development.
We're delighted to have with us here this morning representatives of each of the three territories. I must thank the delegations for doing this on relatively short notice, for coming here to help our committee scope the potential study that we're considering and will be looking at in the weeks to come.
I'd like, first, to introduce our first two witnesses. We'll eventually have three presentations this morning and then we'll open it up for questions.
We have with us this morning Rosemary Keenainak, from the Government of Nunavut, along with director, Mr. Ed McKenna. We also have Mr. Peter Vician, the deputy minister for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment for the Government of the Northwest Territories. We will properly introduce the other delegations when they come. That is not to leave out Mr. Singer, who is here also, the director for the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment, again with the Government of the Northwest Territories.
We will begin with Ms. Keenainak. It's roughly a 10-minute presentation. We will each do that.
Do you have the text that you circulated to the members?
