I'd like to welcome you all to the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. Today, we're meeting on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people, a fact that is very important as we go through the process of truth and reconciliation in Canada. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on February 21, 2017, we will continue our study of default prevention and management policy.
On our first panel today, we have Wendy Harris from the Canadian Executive Service Organization, Stan Bear and Lorne Cochrane from the Indigenous Management Group Incorporated, and Loretta Burnstick appearing as an individual by video conference from Edmonton.
Why don't we start with Loretta? Each group will have 10 minutes to present. After all the presentations are done, there will be an opportunity for questions.
I turn it over to Loretta Burnstick from Edmonton. Welcome.
