Thank you. I greet you, all.
I'm from Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug. It's about 600 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay. The English name for it is Big Trout Lake. It's a beautiful place, a beautiful spot. It's very hard to leave that place, so you can imagine how our elders feel when they have to leave home to go to a long-term care facility away from what they're used to.
I have a small presentation that I'll read to you, but before I do that I would like to mention our health policy and advocacy director for NAN, James Cutfeet. We're related, if you haven't picked that up by now. He's my brother.
