This is not to criticize but it's more to observe and the residents have had limited opportunities to share their experiences and thoughts about what a new process could look like. For instance, the virtual consultation recently two weeks ago was an unfortunate example of the approach being used with residents being muted and cameras turned off throughout a complex and lengthy technical presentation and unmuted only to ask their question and have it answered, sometimes incorrectly because there was really very little opportunity for clarification and really at no time could residency anyone else who was involved in the virtual meeting except for the region staff or the consultant doing the presentation.

We recognize the enduring presence of the Indigenous peoples on this land, and we honor their history and ongoing contributions to our community. Are there any declarations of conflicts of interest? Seeing none, our first report is the Library Business Plan, and I will call in Christina McLaren, Manager Library Services, to introduce this report. Welcome. Thank you, Chair. There are some presentation slides to go along with this. Great. Okay. So this is the report on the 2027 Library Business Plan. First slide. The 2027 Business Plan and the Library Service Delivery Plan dovetail together. The Service Delivery Plan identifies five areas of focus, welcoming spaces, service excellence, diverse collections, dynamic programs, and evolving technology. Projects for 2027 fit within these five areas, plus two additional sections, which are library governance and advocacy and awareness. Next slide, please. So project and staffing costs.

Thank you. I would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather today is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, the Haudenosaunee, the Haudenosaunee, the Anishinaabeg and the Chinatown people. During my career as parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Environment, my role was to navigate passage of the Species at Risk Act. This was in 2002. That was the first time that federal legislation entrenched Indigenous community knowledge as a founding principle. Indigenous peoples knew the migratory paths of the animals and the birds and their habitats. When walking with Indigenous people, I have learned that our relationship to the land is one of stewardship and not ownership. I continue to be honoured to walk with our Indigenous people. And we acknowledge the enduring presence of the Indigenous people with whom we share this land today, their achievements, their contributions to our community. I also want to start with a prayer by Chief Stacey Laform in his book, Living in the Tall Grass. We give thanks to the Creator for allowing us this gathering. We ask that He guide us and forgive us when we falter and disappoint. For though we aspire to greatness, we are all, after all, only human. Grant us a clear mind, a pure heart and courage. A clear mind to make well thought out intelligent decisions . A pure heart to make decisions that are without personal bias or desire.
