I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 26 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 beginning its study of Bill S-228, an act to amend the Criminal Code regarding sterilization procedures.
Before we begin, a budget for the study has been circulated. Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the budget?
