Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for coming today, for sharing your insights, and for providing so much perspective on the process and making sure that the voices of your communities are heard on this. I hope it leads to further consultations and more fulsome discussions.
First, I am joining you today from Halton, which is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat, the Attawandaron and the Anishinabe, the Mississauga of the Credit First Nation and many others. I'm very grateful to be sharing this land.
My question today is for Ms. Whitman.
Ms. Whitman, I bring greetings from my friend, Sherry Saevil, who is a grandmother who lives in my community. She says hi. We were chatting the other day because we share a birthday, which was on Friday.
