Colleagues, I want to thank you for being here this morning. We are continuing our consideration of Bill S-8 today in this 76th meeting of Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
Today we are joined by departmental officials who will be here for our assistance if necessary. Feel free to turn to them if in fact there is a question that they might be able to help you with as it relates to the consideration of the legislation we have before us.
If our officials will introduce themselves, we'll do that and then get into clause-by-clause.
