I appreciate that you costed out a number of your report's recommendations. We haven't had a lot of that, and it's difficult to get that from folks when they make presentations, and so it's appreciated.
Mr. Paul, I appreciated your comments as well with respect to the focus you have with a working relationship and making it stronger. I have a couple of things on the $9.1 billion in each year to fund programs directed to the aboriginal people in our country. Over the last five years, spending has grown by 4.3%, or $350 million a year. This budget provided for $450 million in housing, education, water treatment, and an off-reserve aboriginal housing allocation of $300 million. Obviously, over the last number of years, investments have been made, and particularly this year, significantly.
It doesn't seem that funding is necessarily the issue; it's the relationship you talked about. I wonder if you could comment on that.
