I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 64 of the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.
Today's meeting is in hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person and remotely using the Zoom application.
The proceedings will be made available on the House of Commons website. For your information, the webcast will always show the person speaking rather than the entire committee.
For those participating virtually, I would like to outline a few rules to follow.
You may speak in the official language of your choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting in French, English and Inuktitut. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French, and I would encourage you to select that now.
If interpretation is lost, please inform me immediately, and we will ensure that interpretation is properly restored before resuming the proceedings—
