Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank you for being here to give your testimonies. They will certainly feed our thinking about what we have to do about poverty and especially, they will guide us in preparing our recommendations.
I also want to thank Mrs. Tellier for her sensitiveness toward the 10 per cent Francophones who live in Alberta and who have heard her today and who will see that they are not alone here. This is good.
I said about the people that we have met up to now, that even if we have done an analysis that leads us to the same conclusion, they bring us a point of view that will enrich our thinking on all these issues.
I will first address more generally my question to Mr. Daly. We all know that the situation of Aboriginal people is more serious than that of all the other homeless people. If someone has a particular profile, let us say an Aboriginal woman with an invalidity, this situation is much worse. We just come back from the North, we were yesterday in Yellowknife. We have heart things that shocked us. We are trying to see how to deal with those situations. I will first talk about the situation of the Aboriginal people.
Mr. Daly, you say we should give them more autonomy. If I understand correctly, it is the autonomy to be able to exercise a power, with tools which will be transferred to Aboriginal people.
How do you see the autonomy you mentioned and which are the tools, the powers that could be transferred while keeping a guiding role?
