I call the meeting to order. I want to welcome everyone, especially the witnesses here today.
The orders of the day deal with chapter 3, on the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, of the October 2007 Report of the Auditor General of Canada.
From the Office of the Auditor General we have assistant auditor Ronnie Campbell, and principal Frank Barrett. Welcome.
From the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development we have the deputy minister and accounting officer Michael Wernick. He's accompanied by Michel Roy, the senior assistant deputy minister, claims and Indian government; and Terry Sewell, director general, implementation branch.
I want to again extend to each and every one of you a very warm welcome to the committee.
I understand, Mr. Campbell, you have an opening statement. I'll turn the meeting over to you.
