Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
Welcome to the Yukon representatives. It's nice to see former colleagues of mine. It's important to get this bill through, so that you have assurance and know what the system is, and then you can make some fabulous discoveries, and production, and employ people.
Let's get down to business. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, June 20, 2017, we are studying Bill C-17, an act to amend the Yukon environmental socio-economic assessment act and to make a consequential amendment to another act.
You're going to be our last panel on Bill C-17. We're anxious to hear from you.
First, I'd like to recognize that we're on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people. We say that because Canada has started the process of understanding the truth and moving through reconciliation with our first peoples and indigenous communities.
We'll get started with some of the procedure. You have 10 minutes each to present and then we'll go into a round of questions and answers from the committee members.
I have Brad starting, but it doesn't need to be.
Okay, I'll turn things over to you. I'll signal when it's time to wrap up.
