Colleagues, I call this meeting to order. This is the 71st meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Today we continue our review of Bill C-428.
We have representation today from the First Nations Lands Advisory Board. It is a privilege to have five folks here from different regions.
We are privileged to have the chair of the board, a friend of mine and a friend to many in this room, Chief Louie. Thanks so much for being here.
Chief Bear, it's always wonderful to see you. Thank you for joining us as well.
We also have Ms. George-Wilson and Mr. McCue, and we have Mr. Henderson.
Thank you all for being here. We appreciate your willingness to come to Ottawa to join us in this review.
We'll turn it over to you for the first 10 minutes, and then we'll have some questions.
