I'd like to welcome you to the 73rd meeting of the Standing Committee on the Status of Women. Today, the committee is continuing its review of Bill S-2, An Act respecting family homes situated on First Nation reserves and matrimonial interests or rights in or to structures and lands situated on those reserves.
We will hear from Canadian Human Rights Commission representatives: Mr. David Langtry, Mr. Michael Smith and Ms. Valerie Phillips.
Thank you very much for being with us. You will have 10 minutes to make your opening remarks, and then we'll go to questions from members of Parliament.
We will then pause to allow the other witnesses to take their seats, following which the meeting will resume.
Mr. Langtry, you have the floor.
