Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all of the panellists.
I want to first of all ask Regional Chief Googoo a question. It's just a bit of clarification about his recommendations.
In your second recommendation, quite a startling figure appears, and I just want to make sure I've grasped it.
You indicate that the ongoing cost of the status quo in terms of lost productivity and increased support is over $12 billion a year. Your research, and I want to ask you where this research comes from, indicates that raising graduation levels among first nations to levels comparable to the Canadian population, in general, by 2026 would lead to cumulative economic benefits of more than $401 billion, in addition to the $115 billion in avoided government expenditures over the same period. Those are staggering figures, and it's really quite optimistic if that could be achieved.
What is the source of that research? Is that using Stats Canada information?
