"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6627458\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I call this meeting to order.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627459\" data-originallang=\"en\">I will start by acknowledging that when in Ottawa, we meet on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin people. Here, where I am, is the traditional territory of the Anishinabe, Haudenosaunee and Chonnonton first nations.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on February 25, the committee is continuing its study of the subject matter of Bill <a data-HoCid=\"11007812\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-15/\" title=\"An Act respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\">C-15</a>, an act respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and to make related and consequential amendments to other acts.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627461\" data-originallang=\"en\">To ensure an orderly meeting, participants may speak and listen in the official language of their choice. The globe icon at the bottom of the screen allows you to select either the floor, English or French. Choose what you want, and if you do speak in two languages, English and French, you don't need to change that. The technology will pick it up.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627462\" data-originallang=\"en\">When speaking, ensure that your video is turned on. Please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your mike should be on mute.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627463\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pursuant to the motion adopted on March 9, I must inform the committee that Natan Obed has not completed the technical pretest.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627464\" data-originallang=\"en\">With us today by video conference, from the AFN, are National Chief Perry Bellegarde, Wilton Littlechild and Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Thank you, all, for taking the time to appear.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627466\" data-originallang=\"en\">The committee is being asked to allow an extension for the witness statement time beyond the current approved six minutes. As chair, I am reluctant to adjust the rule in view of the unfairness to the previous witnesses and the precedent it will create for future witnesses. As well, we have a number of written submissions that have taken more than six minutes to read, which suggests to me that, as we often tell witnesses, any matters or points of view they feel might have been missed or need further emphasis would be accepted after the meeting as supplemental documents to their brief.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627467\" data-originallang=\"en\">In view of this, I now ask the committee for unanimous consent that notwithstanding the routine motion governing time for opening remarks and questioning of witnesses that the AFN be allotted up to 15 minutes for their opening presentation. Those who do not wish to give unanimous consent, please unmute now to indicate so. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627468\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is there anyone who is opposed to unanimous consent for the extension? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627469\" data-originallang=\"en\">Seeing none, we approve the extension for 15 minutes to Mr. Bellegarde and his associates.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627470\" data-originallang=\"en\">Perry, welcome. It's so nice to have this opportunity to hear from the AFN.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627471\" data-originallang=\"en\">Please go ahead for 15 minutes.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6627458\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je d\u00e9clare la s\u00e9ance ouverte.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627459\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je tiens d'abord \u00e0 souligner que nous nous r\u00e9unissons, \u00e0 Ottawa, sur le territoire traditionnel non c\u00e9d\u00e9 du peuple algonquin. Pour ma part, je me trouve sur les territoires traditionnels des Premi\u00e8res Nations haudenosaunee, anishinabe et chonnonton.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627460\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conform\u00e9ment au paragraphe 108(2) du R\u00e8glement et \u00e0 la motion adopt\u00e9e le 25 f\u00e9vrier 2021, le Comit\u00e9 poursuit son \u00e9tude de l'objet du projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"11007812\" href=\"/bills/43-2/C-15/\" title=\"An Act respecting the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\">C-15</a>, Loi concernant la D\u00e9claration des Nations Unies sur les droits des peuples autochtones et apportant des modifications connexes et corr\u00e9latives \u00e0 d'autres lois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627461\" data-originallang=\"en\">Afin d'assurer le bon d\u00e9roulement de la r\u00e9union, les participants sont pri\u00e9s de parler et d'\u00e9couter dans la langue officielle de leur choix. Au bas de votre \u00e9cran, en cliquant sur l'ic\u00f4ne du globe, vous pouvez choisir entre le parquet, l'anglais ou le fran\u00e7ais. Choisissez celle que vous voulez, et si vous souhaitez vous exprimer tant\u00f4t en anglais, tant\u00f4t en fran\u00e7ais, vous n'avez pas \u00e0 changer de canal. La technologie le fera automatiquement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627462\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lorsque vous prenez la parole, assurez-vous que la vid\u00e9o fonctionne et que vous vous exprimez lentement et clairement. Quand vous avez termin\u00e9, veuillez mettre votre micro en sourdine.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627463\" data-originallang=\"en\">Conform\u00e9ment \u00e0 la motion adopt\u00e9e le 9 mars 2021, j'informe le Comit\u00e9 que Natan Obed n'a pas termin\u00e9 les essais techniques pr\u00e9liminaires.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627464\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Nous recevons aujourd'hui, par vid\u00e9oconf\u00e9rence, trois repr\u00e9sentants de l'APN, soit le chef national Perry Bellegarde, Wilton Littlechild et Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627465\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je vous remercie tous les trois de prendre le temps de compara\u00eetre devant nous.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627466\" data-originallang=\"en\">On demande au Comit\u00e9 d'accorder au t\u00e9moin plus des six minutes normalement autoris\u00e9es pour sa d\u00e9claration. \u00c0 titre de pr\u00e9sident, j'h\u00e9site beaucoup \u00e0 d\u00e9roger \u00e0 la r\u00e8gle par souci d'\u00e9quit\u00e9 pour les t\u00e9moins pr\u00e9c\u00e9dents et parce que je crains que cela n'\u00e9tablisse un pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent pour les futurs t\u00e9moins. De m\u00eame, nous avons re\u00e7u un certain nombre de m\u00e9moires \u00e9crits qui repr\u00e9sentent plus de six minutes de lecture, ce qui me porte \u00e0 rappeler aux t\u00e9moins, comme je le dis souvent, qu'ils pourront toujours nous fournir des documents compl\u00e9mentaires \u00e0 leurs m\u00e9moires apr\u00e8s la s\u00e9ance s'ils ont le sentiment de ne pas avoir pu tout dire ou s'ils souhaitent insister davantage sur certains points.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627467\" data-originallang=\"en\">Malgr\u00e9 tout cela, je demanderais au Comit\u00e9 son consentement unanime afin d'accorder aux repr\u00e9sentants de l'APN jusqu'\u00e0 15 minutes pour leur d\u00e9claration pr\u00e9liminaire, en d\u00e9pit de ce que pr\u00e9voit la motion de r\u00e9gie interne sur le temps accord\u00e9 aux t\u00e9moins pour les d\u00e9clarations pr\u00e9liminaires. Je prie donc que tous ceux et celles qui ne souhaitent pas accorder leur consentement \u00e0 cette requ\u00eate d'activer leur micro pour l'indiquer.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627468\" data-originallang=\"en\">Est-ce que quelqu'un refuse d'accorder son consentement \u00e0 cette prolongation? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627469\" data-originallang=\"en\">Comme personne ne se manifeste, nous acceptons d'accorder 15 minutes \u00e0 M. Bellegarde et \u00e0 ses coll\u00e8gues. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627470\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur Bellegarde, je vous souhaite la bienvenue. C'est vraiment fantastique d'avoir l'occasion d'entendre le point de vue de l'APN. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6627471\" data-originallang=\"en\">La parole est \u00e0 vous pour 15 minutes.</p>"
