We still have some technical issues in the background, but our two witnesses who are here have had the sound checks done, and we're ready to go.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i), and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, September 18, 2023, the committee resumes its study on the integration of indigenous traditional knowledge and science in government policy development.
It's now my pleasure to welcome Dr. Nancy Turner, distinguished professor emerita, to our committee today, as well as Dr. Vicki Kelly, associate professor at Simon Fraser University. Both are with us via video conference in a part of the country where it would be great for us to be visiting you, and not vice versa.
You each have five minutes for your opening statements.
We'll start with Dr. Turner. Go ahead with your five-minute presentation, please.
