Good afternoon, colleagues. I call our meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 98 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. We recognize that we meet on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and Anishinabe peoples.
We are going to jump right into our opening statements. I apologize for the delay, but votes take priority over what we're doing here.
Today we have, from the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, Dr. Ivan Zinger, correctional investigator of Canada. Dr. Zinger is joined by Hazel Miron, deputy director, indigenous portfolio. Welcome to you both.
Colleagues, normally we have a five-minute opening statement. Dr. Zinger would like to have 10 minutes to go through the report, and then we'll get into the first round of questions.
Is there agreement that we allow the 10 minutes?
