I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 22 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 the order of the House, the committee is commencing its study of Bill C-10, an act respecting the commissioner for modern treaty implementation.
I would like to welcome our witnesses. From the Nisga'a Lisims Government, we have Eva Clayton, president, and Brianne Paulin, legal counsel. From Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, we have Chief Sheldon Sunshine. Online, from the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation, we have Chief Pauline Frost.
We also have MP Billy Morin online this morning.
For those folks online, if you want my attention, use the “raise hand” function, please, and the clerk and I will make sure that we see you.
I want to remind people about our good interpreters and how to make their lives better and healthier. When you're not using your earpiece, there's a nice little place to put it. Don't grab your mic when you speak, because there will be feedback, and make sure your mic's light is off when you're not speaking. Thank you very much.
Without further ado, we're going to proceed to five-minute introductory comments from each one of our presenters.
Thank you so much for joining us here today.
Please take it away, President Eva Clayton.
