Colleagues, welcome to the second panel for today.
Today in the second panel, we will be hearing from three witnesses: Minister David Joanasie, Minister of Community and Government Services, Government of Nunavut; Chief Darcy Gray from the Listuguj Mi'gmaq Government and Chief Joe Alphonse of the Tsilhqot'in first nation.
For the benefit of our witnesses, you will each have five minutes to make opening remarks, and we'll follow that with a question period. Some of the questions may come in a language other than English. It could be in French, or it could be in Inuktitut. To make sure that you understand it, if English is your language, use the interpretation symbol at the bottom of your screen. It looks like a globe. Hit that and choose English so that you will hear the question.
With that, I would like to get things going and would invite Minister David Joanasie to open up with five minutes.
