Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We're going to begin. We are waiting for a couple of other members, but I think we have enough for quorum, so we'll proceed.
We recognize we've got a fairly busy afternoon here, so the more time we have, the better.
Welcome witnesses, members, and guests to our 10th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. We are resuming our consideration of Bill C-3. This is pursuant to the reference given on March 29.
I'm going to dispense with the more lengthy introductions. We're under some tight timelines. You know we're going until about 4:30. We have essentially four groups with us. I think we'll try to team you up together and try to do our best with the four of you. We'll try to say a five-minute presentation each. We'll go through each of the presentations. The more you can summarize your key recommendations in those five minutes, the better. That will then give us a bit more time for questions from members.
I'm going to suggest to members that if you accept this, we could keep our questions to five minutes, and I hope we'll be able to get a few more questions in. Does everyone agree?
