I have a slide presentation.
Good morning, and thank you for this opportunity to appear before you on behalf of the Nunavut Water Board. My name is Thomas Kabloona. I am the chairman of the Nunavut Water Board and I am from Baker Lake, Nunavut. I have been with the board for many years, commencing with my first term in 1998, and I have been the board`s chair since 2006.
With me today via teleconference is the Nunavut Water Board's outside legal counsel, Teresa Meadows, with the firm Shores Jardine LLP. Teresa has been legal counsel to the board since February 2010 and has represented the board on the working group that reviewed these proposed amendments commencing in January 2014.
Next is slide 2. We have provided the standing committee with a written brief setting out the details of the board's comments regarding Bill S-6 [Technical Difficulty—Editor].
