We have quorum. Accordingly, I call meeting 12 of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs to order.
We start with the acknowledgement that we're meeting on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin people.
The committee is continuing its study of food security in northern communities.
Once again, you should be on the language of your choice, in the globe at the bottom centre of your screen, so that interpretation can present you with the language in which you speak. Please speak slowly and clearly. You should be on mute if you are not speaking.
Joining us today is the president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, Natan Obed.
Mr. Obed, please go ahead for six minutes.
