Colleagues, I'm going to call this meeting to order. This is the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Today we continue our study of Bill C-15.
We have the privilege of having the officials back to answer our questions, most importantly, but to begin with, they will have an opening statement. We'll turn it over to them, and then we'll have some questions.
It looks like we have enough folks in the room to have answers for every question. Thanks so much for being here. We really appreciate it.
