Ullaakut. Thank you very much.
I am quite honoured to be here this morning, and I look forward to hearing the rest of the presentations. I have been in front of a standing committee before, but it's good to know you're going to be a little bit lenient, because I know the last time I did a presentation it was shortened.
Welcome to our great city. I'm sure you'll walk away with some great information.
I just got back from Ottawa yesterday, actually. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities just held their advocacy days, and we had a meeting under the northern forum. We met with Minister Strahl and had some great insight. Actually, that was why there were two pieces passed out this morning. One piece of advice he gave us was that although this committee is quite keen on reading material, he's kind of like me, he likes one-pagers. So one is in depth, which I will be reading, and a lot of the material comes from previous... And then there's a one-pager, with Minister Strahl in mind.
Thank you once again for allowing me to speak this morning.
