Please proceed, Madam Chair.
Okay.
For members participating in person, proceed as you usually would when the whole committee is meeting in person in a committee room.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. If you are on the video conference, please click on the microphone icon to unmute yourself. For those in the room, your mic will be controlled as normal by the proceedings and verification officer.
Please address your remarks through the chair.
When speaking, speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
With regard to a speaking list, the committee clerk and I will do the best we can to maintain a consolidated order of speaking for all members, whether they are participating virtually or in person.
I would like to ask the committee to consider the adoption of a budget for the restitution of land studies. That will be our first item of business today. You should have all received it by email. It covers costs related to our meetings, including witness expenses, meals and telephone lines.
I would ask for your agreement now.
