Colleagues, I call this meeting to order. This is the 55th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
Today, colleagues, you know that we have a representative from the Government of Yukon with us. Ms. Henderson joining us from Whitehorse. She's a representative of the government and a member of the Department of Justice.
Ms. Henderson, thank you so much for joining us today. We apologize for the delayed start. We had a prolonged question period today, and it deterred some of our members from getting here on time. We appreciate your joining us. Then we will have a number of questions to ask you, and we look forward to that.
First we'll begin with your opening statement and then we'll turn to questions. Thanks again for being with us today.
