Hello everyone.
[English]
We are pleased to address you today concerning Bill C-218, to make note of the impacts it will have on the gaming industry in our community and to recommend bill changes, amendments, and accommodation or reconciling with the interests of Kahnawake and other first nations in Canada.
I will turn it over to Chief Mike Delisle for some of the history.
