Thank you, colleagues. This ends the first hour of our meeting this morning.
I would like to thank the witnesses very much for their generosity with their time and their insights from an accumulation of so many years of experience. On behalf of all members of the committee, thank you very much for your contributions to this study.
Colleagues, we'll now move to our second hour. I'd like to introduce the individuals who will be making presentations, followed by questions from members of the committee.
We will be welcoming Mitch Bourbonniere, outreach worker for the Ogijiita Pimatiswin Kinamatwin. From the Bear Clan Patrol, we will be welcoming Kevin Walker, who is the interim executive director. From the Native Counselling Services of Alberta, we have Marlene Orr, chief executive officer; and Nicole Whiskeyjack, community coordinator.
They will have up to five minutes for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Welcome to all of you. Thank you for being with us today.
I now invite Mr. Bourbonniere to make an opening statement of up to five minutes—
