The motion is carried unanimously.
Now I'm going to introduce our witnesses.
For the first hour, we have, as an individual by video conference, Mr. Bouchard Dulyx Dorval, veteran. We are trying to get in touch with him. We are not sure. We're going to try to have Mr. Dorval for the second hour.
Here in committee, we have, from the Assembly of First Nations' veterans council, Debbie Eisan. She is the community events manager for the Mi'kmaw Native Friendship Centre. We also have Alan Knockwood, a member.
Also, last time, we had Dr. Lynne Gouliquer, sociologist. Now the video conference is working, so we have Dr. Gouliquer with us this afternoon.
You're going to have five minutes each for your opening statements. After that, we will ask you some questions. We will start with Dr. Lynne Gouliquer by video conference.
Please open your mic and start your testimony.
