Certainly.
Good morning. The elder-assisted hearing consists of two portions. There's a ceremony portion and a business portion. My colleague mentioned that we contract and work with elders all across Canada. We have elders who facilitate the elder-assisted hearings. They perform the ceremony, and they also ensure that the circle—it's a circle format for elder-assisted hearings—is respected during the interview and risk assessment process.
Our elders are also there to provide information and advice to our board members about traditions or ceremonies, or things they've heard during the risk assessment portion, to be able to contribute to the risk assessment. Our elders don't take part in the decision-making itself, but they provide advice.
