Colleagues, I call this meeting back to order.
I want to welcome all of the audience in the gallery here who are joining us tonight at this hour, but I especially want to welcome our witnesses for this panel. We have Andrea Sandmaier, president of the Métis Nation of Alberta, and we have Garrett Tomlinson, senior director, self-government, for the Métis Nation of Alberta. We extend a special welcome to you.
We'll start off with five minutes of opening remarks, after which we'll get into questions from members of the committee.
With that, I will hand the floor over to you for your opening remarks.
