Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the witnesses and thank them for joining us for this important study. I'd also like to thank them for their advice ahead of the discussions with provincial ministers this summer.
My first question is for Mr. McKee.
Do you have a specific recommendation on how to better include indigenous voices in program development? As you said, we need to ensure that programs help communities before the program is finalized, because after that, it is too late.
Do you have any concrete suggestions? If you have any to share with us today, that would be excellent; if not, we would be grateful if you could send them to us in writing.
