Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming here.
This is not my normal spot on committee, but I find it most interesting. I've learned much and I appreciate the time you've taken. I appreciate the candid responses you've given us.
I'm interested, Minister, in communities, and I think we all are. We all agree that communities are what make up this great country, and we recognize that government has a strong role in building communities.
Could you explain to this committee what your vision is to facilitate stronger communities? Furthermore, can you explain what your role would be in facilitating that vision?
