Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Yes, opening remarks for our committee report were read into the record yesterday, and the first motion, Mr. Chair, is I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories declare the overrepresentation of Indigenous children and youth in child and family services a crisis and develop a whole-of-government response in partnership with Indigenous governments. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
