Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to welcome the witnesses who are joining us for this second hour of study.
Mr. Asselin, thank you for joining us. You are the director of the École d'études autochtones at the Université du Québec en Abitibi‑Témiscamingue. I read some of your interviews. In them, you mention in particular that the university is well positioned to generate meaningful dialogue between Quebeckers and first nations.
Can you tell us more about the role that the university can play in bringing indigenous and non‑indigenous people together?
