We're back in session.
We're having a problem with Mr. Isaac's sound quality. We will keep him online while the back room tries to deal with it to see if we can get the sound quality to the point where we can involve him in the discussion. At this point, I will get us started with the other two opening statements. If we can get Mr. Isaac on for his opening statement, that will be good. Otherwise, we will not be able to hear his testimony. It's just one of those requirements we have.
I'd like to welcome Adam Browning, president of Métis Nation of Alberta Association Local 2003. From the Assembly of First Nations, we have the interim national chief, Joanna Bernard. Joining us in person is Julie McGregor, senior legal counsel with the Assembly of First Nations.
Let's start with Adam Browning for his five-minute opening statement.
When you're ready, Mr. Browning, the floor is yours.
