Welcome back, colleagues. We're going to resume our meeting.
I'd like to welcome our witness this afternoon, Victoria Pruden, president of the Métis National Council.
Noah Goslin is here in person.
I have a few comments for the benefit of our witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. I will remind you that all comments should be directed through the chair.
Ms. Pruden, you will have five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will open the floor to questions. Because we had a vote, our time is somewhat constrained, so we'll have a good quality half-hour with you. I'm sure that we'll learn a lot from one another.
Please proceed.
