Barry Devolin at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

I call the meeting to order.

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the 22nd meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development. Today we are continuing with our hearings dealing with Bill C-30, an act to establish the specific claims tribunal and to make consequential amendments to other acts.

Before I get to the witnesses today, I would like to welcome to our committee a new member, Rob Clarke, from Saskatchewan.
