I call to order the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are having a briefing from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being here today. I understand they have a very busy schedule, and I'm sure that the information we receive from them will be appreciated. In the first hour we'll be hearing from Ry Moran, the director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation, and Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux, the vice-provost of aboriginal initiatives at Lakehead University.
Welcome. You will have approximately 10 minutes to make a submission, and we will then take questions from the committee members. In the final minute, I'll notify you that you have one minute left to end your submission.
Okay, you may start.
