Thank you for being here today to discuss the 10-year plan to strengthen health care.
My question is for Ms. Besner. In your presentation, you talk about aboriginal health. You say that contributions under the promising intergovernmental accords for 2005 remained relatively modest. We know how much aboriginal people need health care, and we need to be able to meet their needs.
How is it that in a report like this one, the federal government does not have to be accountable and the provinces have to produce status reports on the plan's objectives, for example, on wait times? These people come under the federal government's responsibility, after all.
Aboriginal people are under federal jurisdiction, but there seems to be no willingness to provide them with better health and work with them.
