Colleagues, we'll call this meeting to order. This is the 68th meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. We are continuing our study of Bill C-428.
Today we have the privilege of having representation from the Canadian Bar Association. We have Christopher Devlin with us today, who is back to our committee. We appreciate your willingness to return. We know that you're from Western Canada and it's five in the morning there, so we appreciate your willingness to come this morning and be prepared to answer questions.
We also have Tamra Thomson. Thanks so much for being with us. We appreciate your willingness to come and answer questions as well.
We'll turn it over to you folks and we'll hear your opening statement. Then we'll have some questions for you.
