Bruce Stanton at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen members, witnesses and guests.

We are starting the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. On the agenda, pursuant to the Order of Reference of Monday, March 29, 2010, we are considering Bill C-3, An Act to promote gender equity in Indian registration by responding to the Court of Appeal for British Columbia decision in McIvor v. Canada (Registrar of Indian and Northern Affairs).

This afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, we welcome our continuing consideration of Bill C-3.

We welcome the Regional Chief of the Assembly of First Nations for British Columbia, Chief Jody Wilson-Raybould. With her is Karen Campbell, who is the senior policy analyst, strategic policy, planning and law.

You've probably done this before, so you know the drill.

Have you done it before?
