Okay, let's reconvene.
On our committee business, we have Mr. Davies' motion.
Before you get carried away or anything, Mr. Davies, I'm just going to read the motion so everybody knows what it is. I'm going to make some comments, because I've had discussions with the chair of the indigenous affairs committee, and even today we learned some things both from Mr. Kennedy and from the minister's statement.
The motion is:
That the Standing Committee on Health study the status of health and health care within Indigenous communities in Canada, including status, non-status, on-reserve, off-reserve and urban Indigenous populations, with the objective of better understanding the particular health care needs of this population, the gaps in service delivery, review the effectiveness of the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada, and report its findings to the House.
I've had discussions with the chair of the indigenous affairs committee, and they intend to do this. They've done two studies already on it, and they want to continue. This is the third study.
Also, Mr. Kennedy just said a minute ago.... He wouldn't even answer a question about indigenous health, because that's all over to indigenous health. In her opening statement, the minister said, “Therefore, significant funding associated with indigenous programming included in these supplementary estimates will now fall under the purview of Minister Philpott.” It sounds like indigenous health is moving to the Minister of Indigenous Services.
Those are just my comments.
Mr. Davies, go ahead.
