Thank you very much for joining us today. All members of our committee were very eager actually to hear from you. It was a priority to ensure that you would come and present today so thank you very much for coming to Ottawa.
Ms. Hopkins, I would also like to thank you for partnering with Health Canada to create “Honouring our Strengths: A Renewed Framework to Address Substance Use Issues Among First Nations People in Canada”. I know that the Minister of Health found the information here very important, so thank you for this very good work.
The federal government does currently fund a number of projects when it comes to prevention and treatment. As you can imagine we'd like to focus our resources on best practices and share those nationwide. Can you tell me which programs you think—if you would both please speak to this—are the most worthwhile?
