We'll call this meeting to order.
This is the fourth meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Today we are continuing our review of Bill C-9.
With us today we have witnesses who have been asked for. We have the pleasure of having Brenda Kustra, who is from the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and we have Tom Vincent, who is from the Department of Justice.
We want to thank you for being here. We will turn to you if there are questions with regard to the legislation or the amendments that are being proposed. We thank you for being here.
Colleagues, it is my intention to move directly into the clause-by-clause consideration. I'm hopeful that everybody has the information they need in front of them, but we'll begin with the clause-by-clause consideration.
As is the practice of all committees, the short title will be deferred to the end of the consideration of the bill. We'll move immediately to clause 2.
Not seeing anybody seeking to move an amendment, I shall call the question.
(Clause 2 agreed to)
There is an amendment being proposed for clause 3, so I turn to Ms. Jones.
Welcome here.
(On clause 3—Order)
