Colleagues, I'll call this 23rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to order.
This is a continuation of our study on land use and sustainable economic development.
Colleagues, today we have two witnesses before us. Representing the Chiefs of Ontario, we have Chief Toulouse. We also have, representing the Environmental Careers Organization of Canada, Grant Trump.
I should tell colleagues that Mr. Trump's time is going to be a little bit truncated. He has a flight to catch, so he'll be excusing himself as is necessary.
Chief Toulouse, I believe you have an opening statement. We'll hear from you and then we'll hear from Mr. Trump and then we'll begin the questioning round, starting with a seven-minute round.
Chief, please, we'll turn it over to you. Thank you so much for coming.
