Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have quite a gathering here today in the gallery. We have a lot of Indigenous leaders and some of their officials because we're doing the first reading of bills on the United Nation of Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, the Implementation Act. So they're here for that.
Just telling committee, there will also be, during the break of Committee of the Whole, we'll be having a small reception with the media. People are welcome to attend.
But the visitors here are -- excuse me, if I say these wrong --
- Ayoni Keh Land Corporation and SSI Incorporated board member, president Joseph Kochon.
- And SSI manager of intergovernmental relations, Valerie Gordon, who I also believe is a Range Lake constituent.
- Danny Gaudet from the Deline Got'ine government.
- Leonard Kenny from the Deline Got'ine government.
- Vice-president Paul Herrington from the Northwest Territories Metis Nation; and
- Ayoni Keh Land Corporation and Behdzi Ahda' First Nation governance advisor Stephanie Irlbacher Fox.
- And my own team, that small team that worked on the United Nations Declaration from Executive and Indigenous Affairs:
- Ms. Shawn McCann, the Indigenous and intergovernmental affairs deputy secretary. I'll read them all off:
- Anne Marie Grueben, the manager of Indigenous affairs, and
- Isabelle Gauthier, the intergovernmental analyst.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
