Welcome, everybody. We're here at the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. We're talking about long-term care.
Welcome to our guests on the the video conference. Be sure when we get to questions that we're aware of whether we're addressing our guests here in Ottawa or on the video conference.
Before we get started, Canada is on a journey of reconciliation and the first part of it is truth. We always recognize the fact that we're on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people here in Ottawa. As a settler from the Prairies, I feel it's important for us to always recognize our history.
Going from there, I would try to read this but it would be a horrible insult. I understand it's the Mohawk word for “our home”, which is very nice, and it's a long-term care facility. Then we have the UW-Schlegel Research Institute for Aging; and Bonita Beatty, a professor from U of S in Saskatchewan.
We're going to start with Tammy. All right. You have up to 10 minutes, and I'll try to give you a signal when we're getting close to the time, if you need it. We'll hear from all the presenters and then we'll go to rounds of questions.
Welcome to our committee.
Tammy, you can start off.
