Terry Sheehan at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 25 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.

First of all, we recognize that we meet on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people. Chi-meegwetch.

Pursuant to the order of the House, the committee is continuing its study of Bill C-10, an act respecting the commissioner for modern treaty implementation.

I would like to welcome everyone.

As an individual, we have David Wright, associate professor, faculty of law, University of Calgary. Welcome.

From the Cree Nation Government, we have Grand Chief Paul Murdoch by video conference. Hello, Chief.

We have Duane Gastant' Aucoin, executive councillor, Teslin Tlingit Council. He is also on video conference. Welcome to you, Duane.

We have Lori on video conference. She's been joining us frequently throughout this study. We welcome her as well.

Let's proceed with the presentations.

You will have five minutes each. I will remind you when you have 30 seconds to wrap up. If you haven't finished your thoughts, you can add information during questions and answers.

Let's start with David Wright from the faculty of law, University of Calgary.

Thank you.
