That might have been a recommendation from some other delegations.
What we can do is provide a new summary of the situation, how things are now. I know that you've probably participated in similar committees and reviews, and what makes this different is that we have a government and a Prime Minister who sincerely wants to make a change.
We will prepare a report, and you can submit information in briefs until October 20, and that will be included in the report. Of course, the documents will be part of that more comprehensive storage of Library materials. The report will have a number of recommendations put forward by members of the committee, and we will submit it to the Government of Canada, who will then officially respond to our recommendations. It is part of a process of truth and reconciliation and strengthening our relationship with our first peoples.
We're thrilled to be here in Belleville and to hear from you. I hope that you had a safe journey and everything was good. We appreciate that you took the time to come out.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying specific claims and comprehensive land claim agreements, and I wish to welcome you.
The process is that you have 10 minutes to present. We have two presenters, so after both groups have presented, we'll open the floor to questions. There's a first round of seven minutes, and then it moves into five-minute rounds. I'd ask members to indicate who they're directing their questions to.
Good morning. Either group can begin. You can decide between the two of you who wants to start.
Go ahead.
