Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being with us today. I'm incredibly grateful for your voices. It's always amazing to hear from the leadership across this land.
I want to mention that I'm speaking from the unceded and unsurrendered Wolastoqiyik territory here in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
I'll begin with Chief Archibald. It's really critical that we have these discussions about the representation and the appointments on the council. That's why this feedback is so important at this early stage.
What are you looking for when appointing a member to the board? What might Canadians expect to see as far as the individuals who might be represented on this council?
