Committee members, I'm going to call to order this tenth meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
Colleagues, today is a special day for us. We have the National Chief with us.
We want to take as much time as we possibly can to hear from you, National Chief, and then to have some of our questions answered. Thank you so much for coming. We understand that you've been travelling the world, and we're glad to have you back here. We're thankful that you've taken the time to come to our meeting.
National Chief, I'd like to turn it over to you now. If you want to make introductions as well, that would be great.
