We're back in session. Committee, thank you for your forbearance as we deal with these problems.
I'd like to welcome Ambassador Clément Chartier from the Manitoba Métis Federation. This is in the context of this committee, the indigenous and northern affairs committee, studying Bill C-29 at committee stage.
Ambassador, we will ask you to make some opening remarks for up to five minutes, and then the committee members will have an opportunity to ask you questions.
With that, if you're ready, the microphone is yours for five minutes of introduction.
