Thank you all for being here.
I'm going to turn to Jeanette Armstrong, because she's a friend and colleague.
I must admit, Jeanette, that when I suggested to the committee that we take on this study, I was thinking of you. I'm so glad that you could join us here with the rest of the witnesses today.
You mentioned a couple of projects that you're doing through your chair at UBC Okanagan. I know another post you have that is at that intersection of indigenous knowledge and settler science. It's on COSEWIC, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. It is meeting here in Ottawa this week, so it's on the top of my mind.
Can you talk about your role in COSEWIC and how you think that's going? How is indigenous knowledge used there, and do you think there are ways it could be better integrated with science?
