Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to all of our witnesses.

Today I'm speaking to you on the unceded traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik here in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

I wanted to begin, as well, by congratulating you, President Caron, for being the first woman to represent the Métis National Council and for bringing women's voices in general to this really important discussion.

With the signing of the 2017 Canada-Métis Nation Accord, I understand that NIHB has begun to transfer funding for distinctions-based, Métis-specific programming. How is this process going?
