Good morning, everyone. I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting 93 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs. We recognize that we meet on the unceded and traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe peoples. Colleagues, before we get into the continuation of the clause-by-clause review of Bill C-53 today, I'm going to flag for us that the call is out for upcoming travel for committees. The travel period will be April to June, and our deadline for submission is February 16. I'm not going to take any time on that today, but I'm just planting the idea that the deadline is coming up. Should we finish early today, I may come back to it before we adjourn to see if anybody has anything they'd like to put forward for our clerk and the logistics team to cost out, which we could submit for the Liaison Committee's consideration. Just give some thought to possible travel from April to June, this spring, and the deadline, February 16. With that, we have a couple of new faces around the table today. I'd like to welcome Michelle Rempel Garner and Mr. Melillo. Welcome. It's always good to have you here. Today we are continuing with Bill C-53, an act respecting the recognition of certain Métis governments in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan. I'd like to welcome back our witnesses. We are, hopefully, drawing near the end of the time we'll be spending with you, but we appreciate your continued presence and expertise in helping us move through this piece of legislation. We're going to pick up where we left off. Where we are right now is with a couple of stood clauses, so we're going to resume with clause 2. (On clause 2) The Chair: CPC-2 was adopted. Therefore, we created a new clause, clause 4.1. Now we have CPC-1, which is Mr. Schmale's amendment. I'll ask Mr. Schmale if he'll move CPC-1.
