I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 13 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. We recognize that we meet on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, the committee is continuing its study of indigenous policing and public safety.
I want to remind everybody of the little tips on how to help our interpreters out. Make sure that your mics are off when you're not speaking. If you're not speaking and you take your earpiece out, put it on the little placard. Leaving it in your ear is fine as well.
We have people joining online. Ginette is there. Somebody else who will be joining us online is Chief Michael Yellowback from the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs.
I believe everyone has been tested, and they are okay for the interpreters.
Those folks who are online, if you wish to speak, use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will look for that, and we will recognize you.
I've introduced Chief Michael Yellowback, but we also have Lloyd Yew, chief executive officer, Turtle Island Private Investigators Inc.; and Hilda Anderson-Pyrz, National Family and Survivors Circle Inc.
You will each have five minutes, and then we'll go into our rounds of questions. As you get close to your five minutes, I will signal to you to wrap it up.
Let us begin with Lloyd, please.
