Good morning, everyone.
I want to welcome everyone to this hearing of the Indigenous and Northern Affairs standing committee of Canada. We are here today on the unceded territory of the Algonquin people in a process that's not just superficial but recognizes that Canada has finally recognized that it's important to understand the truth and to begin a process of reconciliation with the indigenous people of Canada.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee is looking into issues related to specific claims and comprehensive land claims agreements. We will begin the procedure.
Today we have with us the Lesser Slave Lake Indian Regional Council, with Morgan Chapman. Committee members will remember that we met her in B.C.
We're glad to have you back; you have many faces.
We also welcome the representatives from Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. They will also be speaking for the Land Claims Agreement Coalition.
Welcome.
Both groups have 10 minutes to present, and then there will be a question period.
MPs, I'd ask you to direct your questions to whichever group, or to both, if that's your choice.
Witnesses, have you decided who's going to start?
All right, Morgan, you win. You have 10 minutes. Begin your presentation, please.
