We are now resuming with our second panel for today.
Thank you to the witnesses who are joining us. We're still waiting for Ms. Stanovich of the Indigenous Women of the Wabanaki Territories, who is going to arrive imminently in person. We also have with us Jacqueline Prosper, lead of treaty education, Mi'kmaw Kina'matnewey, and Celeste Sulliman, director of treaty education, Nova Scotia Office of L'nu Affairs—I hope I said that reasonably well. Mr. Garry Bailey, president of the Northwest Territory Métis Nation, is also appearing with us virtually.
To our witnesses, as you know, you will each be given five minutes to make an opening statement, and then we'll proceed with questions. Please wait till I give you the go-ahead to speak. Please speak through the chair, and please mute yourself when you are not on.
You have translation capabilities in three languages—French, English and Inuktitut—available to you today.
Without further ado, I'm going to ask Ms. Jacqueline Prosper to provide a five-minute opening statement, which you can share with your colleague Ms. Sulliman, or you can use the time yourself.
