Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for being here today.
As you know, the Conservative government has started making massive cuts in the various departments, especially in Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. These cuts exist, even though a number of aboriginal communities are currently facing considerable challenges.
How might these cuts harm the communities? How will they affect the quality of your work when the time comes to help these communities? Have you specifically considered these probable cuts when making your requests for the Supplementary Estimates (B)?
