M. Babchuk (Chair): We’ll start. I’ll just say good morning to everybody. I call the meeting to order.

I’d like to acknowledge that I am today on the tradi­tional territory of the Lik̓ʷala-speaking people, the Wei Wai Kum, Wei Wai Kai and Kwiakah.

Thank you everybody for being here today to move us forward here.

As we’re just continuing the deliberations this morning, I will ask for a motion to go in camera, as we did last time.

M. de Jong (Deputy Chair): Just for the sake of consis­tency and for reasons I have articulated in the past, I will record my hesitation about going in camera, but I won’t repeat all the reasons I’ve given in the past.

M. Babchuk (Chair): Is there any other comment?

Motion approved.
