We'll continue with this part of the meeting. We do have committee business after this session, which is scheduled for 30 minutes, so we may have to cut into that a little bit with the indulgence of the committee.
Welcome back.
I will remind those of you participating virtually to speak in the official language of your choice. Interpretation services are available. You can choose, at the bottom of your screen, either “floor”, “English” or “French”. If interpretation is lost, please let me know, and we will pause while we get that sorted out.
Two of our witnesses have successfully completed their sound checks. The technical staff will continue to work with the third one to get that sorted out.
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 my pleasure now to welcome, as an individual, Danika Littlechild, assistant professor at Carleton University.
We also welcome, from the Tlicho Government, Tammy Steinwand-Deschambeault, who is the director of the department of culture and lands protection.
We also have, from the Government of the Northwest Territories, Heather Sayine-Crawford, director of the wildlife management division.
You will each have five minutes for your remarks, and then we'll go to our rounds of questions.
We'll start with Danika Littlechild.
