Good morning, everyone. We are at the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs of Canada, and we are studying Bill C-92. We have the privilege of having video conference participation as well as in-house representatives of various groups and individuals.
Before we start, we always recognize that we are on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people here, in a hope that all Canadians will start to consider where they're from, what the history of the region is and to participate actively in reconciliation.
Let's get started. The way the process works is that every presenter—and sometimes you split your time—will get up to 10 minutes. I'll give you signals as you get close to that, and after all presentations are done, which will be in 30 minutes, we go through questions from members of the committee.
All right, not to take any time away from you, we will begin with the Women of the Métis Nation, Melanie Omeniho.
Melanie, it's your turn to start.
