I call the meeting back to order.
Colleagues, I would ask you to retake your seats, please. We'll start with panel number two.
On this panel, we have two guests. We have the honourable Shane Thompson, Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs and Minister of Environment and Natural Resources for the Northwest Territories. Arriving imminently, we'll have Chief April Martel of the K'atl'odeeche First Nation, also of the Northwest Territories.
Minister Thompson, you are probably aware of how we do this. We would like to give you five minutes for opening remarks. Hopefully, Chief Martel will have arrived by then. She'll speak for five minutes, and then we'll get into questions.
If you are ready, we are ready to listen to you. Please go ahead.
