I am not sure that the numbers I have are accurate, but they say that 40% of the funds are allocated to the administration of the department of Indian Affairs. You many not be able to provide an answer this morning because you do not have the figures with you. Nevertheless, it is clear that these funds do not really go to the communities.
I think that the government is relying too heavily on data about the future, that is, three, four or five years from now. Between now and then, no course adjustment is in the works to really help aboriginal communities live decently with dignity and respect. I would like the committee to complete its initial study of another file, and then go see what is really going on in aboriginal communities. That is the federal government's responsibility.
Thank you.
Do we turn things over to the CRTC to respond now?
