MPs, welcome. We are here at the indigenous and northern affairs committee, on the unceded lands of the Algonquin people, at a time when Canada is finally starting to move, with significant steps, on understanding the truth and moving toward reconciliation.
We look at UNDRIP as another piece of this movement and advancement. We are hearing the views of guests from across the country on the declaration and its impacts on Canada, indigenous people in general, and anything else they wish to bring up.
As presenters, you'll have 10 minutes. I'll give you some indication of where you are when you have two minutes left, or that you should wrap up. After the presentations, we'll go to rounds of questioning. Welcome.
I have Ms. Phare first. Welcome to the committee.
