I call the meeting to order.
We start with the acknowledgement, of course, that when we are in Ottawa, we meet on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin people.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on April 29, 2021, the committee continues its study of enforcement on first nation reserves.
To ensure an orderly meeting, those of you online may speak and listen in the official language of your choice, but choose at the bottom centre of your screen the globe icon from which you can select floor, English or French. Whatever you select, you can actually change from English to French without further technical change. When speaking, ensure that your video is turned on, and please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your microphone should be on mute.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on March 9, 2021, I must inform the committee that all witnesses have completed a technical pretest, so we're awaiting Chief Mathias of the Long Point First Nation, but we do have with us the chief of police, Roland Morrison, and Julian Falconer, partner at Falconers LLP, both on behalf of the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service.
Mr. Morrison and Mr. Falconer, we're going to start with a six-minute presentation from you, followed by questions.
Please go ahead.
