Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to move the motion that I submitted last Friday through the committee chair and clerks:
That the committee invite the Minister of Indigenous Services to appear before the committee for one hour, at the earliest opportunity, to provide an update on the ongoing public health and infrastructure emergency in Kashechewan First Nation, including the federal government's response to the community's January 4, 2026, declaration of a state of emergency following sewage contamination and water system failures that forced hundreds of residents to evacuate to locations such as Thunder Bay, Kingston, and St. Catharines; and that the committee also invite leaders of Kashechewan First Nation to appear for one hour to provide testimony regarding the ongoing situation in the community and the federal government's response.
