I'd like to follow up on the welcome the mayor of St-Pierre-Jolys gave you and let you recognize that we are on Treaty No. 1 land and also the traditional homeland of the Métis Nation. I think that is an important factor here. As Ms. Storey just mentioned, she's from Grandview, which is quite a distance from this area. We have people here from Buffalo Point, close to the U.S. border. We have people here from all around rural Manitoba.
One thing that I would like this committee to also concern itself with and very much look at is education. When my son was in high school, he came home and said that his civics teacher said there was no reason to vote because it doesn't count. That's from our school system. Well, the teacher got a call from me.
