Good morning. Bonjour. Thank you for coming.
You've travelled a great distance from the community of Cross Lake. The Pimicikamak First Nation is about 800 kilometres north of Winnipeg, so you've come a great distance to be here. I want to welcome you to the traditional territory of the Algonquin people here in Ottawa.
We're going to get started, because we want to be sure that we respect your time. You will have 10 minutes to present, and then there will be an opportunity for questions and answers with the members.
I'm going to call on Chief Cathy Merrick to present to us. Thank you again for coming.
