Thank you, Madam Chair.
Good afternoon and welcome. Health Canada's clients include, of course, the aboriginal and Inuit population. The Auditor General's report was rather critical of the rather low number of indicators for studying or describing the state of health of aboriginal and Inuit communities, and it stated that more specific indicators have to be used for that population.
Given that Health Canada has acknowledged that its indicators are rather limited and are not able to follow changes in the state of health of aboriginal and Inuit populations, will the 2008 report indicate any improvements?
