I'll say good morning and she:kon to honourable members and you, Mr. Chair, for the opportunity to address you today. We bring greetings on behalf of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne and the community of Akwesasne.
Today, we will present to the committee information about our unique community, the reality of the situation and our efforts to keep Akwesasne safe.
I am joined by Chief April Adams-Phillips, a member of our council, and our chief of police, Shawn Dulude.
I'm going to ask Chief Phillips to begin our presentation.
