Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
I very much appreciate our witnesses coming to speak to us today about the court challenges program. Today we're welcoming the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples, which I understand is in the process of rebranding itself as the Indigenous Peoples’ Assembly of Canada. We have here Jerry Peltier, the senior adviser; and Kim Beaudin, the president of the Aboriginal Affairs Coalition of Saskatchewan. I'd like to thank both of you gentlemen for coming.
I'm going to turn the floor over to you to make your presentation.
