Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to begin by wishing all my colleagues a happy Vyshyvanka Day. We have not forgotten the ongoing war in Ukraine, and we stand in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Our wish is for peace to prevail as quickly as possible.
Also, I would like to welcome your Ukrainian intern with whom I just had a brief opportunity to speak. Her French is impeccable, she's fluent in five languages, and she just told me about the situation her family is facing. Once again we wish to reiterate our solidarity with the Ukrainian people on this Vyshyvanka Day.
I have a comment for Mr. Clayton from Samaritan's Purse Canada.
Mr. Clayton, thank you for your very clear explanations. As you noted, we’ve heard from other witnesses, such as Mr. Macdonald, who clearly described the problem. I sincerely hope this committee will move amendments to rectify the situation.
As you mentioned, Mr. Chair, the Native Women's Association of Canada representatives will be leaving shortly. I'd like to take this opportunity to acknowledge Mr. Boucher and Ms. Groulx. Kwe.
I'd also like to give Ms. Groulx the opportunity to finish her presentation, if she’d like.
