Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you for your presentation this morning.
I concur with almost everything that you said. I have some questions to ask.
If I may, I will start with Monsieur Picard and Monsieur Lafrenière.
I apologize, I am going to ask my question in English. That will be quicker.
I don't have any real questions as to the presentation that was made with respect to the needs. That's really obvious with respect to the aboriginal communities.
And, of course, Mr. Lafrenière, as for the presentation you made in terms of the areas of priority, we've looked at these many times before: housing, income security, education, and so on.
My question to both of you is a different one. Is the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs a problem in terms of delivery of the mechanism and how we deal with these issues in this country? I am curious to see whether or not we're stuck in a rut in terms of the administrative mechanism we're using in interfacing with these issues and with the communities. Is there a different way of doing it that would be more effective?
