Committee members, we are ready to begin.
We have before us Melanie Omeniho of the Métis National Council, and Jennifer Dickson and Ulrike Komaksiutiksak of the Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada.
Each witness has 10 minutes to present, and after that we will go into a Q and A, with committee members being given an opportunity to ask questions.
If you have provided us with briefs, then enhance your brief. If you haven't provided us with a brief and your 10 minutes are up, take the opportunity under the Q and A to enhance your presentation.
I would like to start with Melanie.
