Thank you very much, everybody, for coming to the second panel on the legislative review of copyright.
It's important to understand that part of the role of the committee is to ask really good questions. Sometimes they're not comfortable questions, but if we don't get good data into our report, then maybe we won't make good recommendations.
We're doing the statutory review and are on a five-day tour. This is day four. We're in Winnipeg. Our study will continue for about a year. We have divided things up into sections.
Today, the second panel focuses on indigenous concerns. I want to make sure that you understand that this is not the only time. When we go into phase two, there will be a focus on indigenous concerns as well, so whatever information you present to us today will be a good introduction that will help us when we are introducing more witnesses in phase two of the study.
Today we have, from the Winnipeg Arts Council, Alexis Kinloch, Public Art Project Manager, and Dominic Lloyd; from the Manitoba Metis Federation, Sharon Parenteau, General Manager, as well as Georgina Liberty; and we have, as an individual, Lynn Lavallee, Vice-Provost, Indigenous Engagement, University of Manitoba. We also somebody else coming who is late. We'll introduce her when she arrives.
We're going to start with the Winnipeg Arts Council. You have five minutes, or seven minutes if you need it.
