We are resuming the meeting.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, January 29, 2024, the committee is beginning its study on the experience of indigenous veterans and Black veterans.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. Please keep in mind that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
For this hour, the witnesses are Mr. Todd Ross, who is joining us by video conference from New Brunswick as an individual; and Ms. Danielle Teillet, a historian who is with us today from the Canadian War Museum.
I'd like to thank you for accepting our invitation to appear before our committee.
I'm going to ask Mr. Ross to give his opening remarks first.
Mr. Ross, you have five minutes. We will then hear from Ms. Teillet, followed by questions and answers.
Mr. Ross, the floor is yours for five minutes. Please go ahead.
