Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for your presentation.
I heard you mention things like housing, and of course education is another big issue, as well as employment. Certainly you've used the words that the programs that are put forward should be Métis-specific in nature and specific types of action. I appreciate that when we talk about aboriginal programs it may include first nations, Inuit, and Métis, but it may not always work for the Métis.
Do I understand that you would like to see programs that take your specific needs and barriers that are unique to yourself into account in the design of the program? Or are you saying that there should be new programs? What do you see as some of the barriers and differences between the Canadian population, the first nations population, and yours that would require that specificity in the programs or the actions taken?
