Colleagues, I'll call this meeting to order.
This is the 65th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Sixty-five is an important number, but we cannot retire: we continue our work.
Folks, first up today for our ongoing review of Bill C-428, we have from the Native Women's Association of Canada, Michèle Audette and Teresa Edwards.
Thank you so much for being with us this morning. We appreciate your joining us, and we look forward to your testimony.
We'll turn it over to you for the first 10 minutes to hear your opening comments, and then we'll begin with rounds of questioning after that. Thanks so much again for being here.
