Welcome everybody.
I would like to call to order the 38th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence, in accordance with Standing Order 108 and the motion adopted by this committee on February 23, 2009. We continue our study of Canadian sovereignty in the Arctic.
We have with us some witnesses from the Makivik Corporation, Mr. Michael Gordon and Mr. Daniel Ricard. Welcome.
You will have five to eight minutes for your presentation, and after that members of the committee will ask you questions.
Thank you for being with us.
Mr. Gordon.
