Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Very quickly, I have three things. I was fortunate to be able to go to Nunavut, not officially as a member of this committee but for other business. Together with Madame Demers from the Bloc, I was able to meet with a number of organizations and visit a number of places to do with the poverty issue we're looking at. I am hoping that when we get back I might be able to give a one-pager to the committee as part of the information, The committee didn't travel there and I was able to do the work for us, so I would be happy to do that when we come back.
The other thing is that with the exception of the specific study that Mr. Martin just mentioned about the aboriginal community—which of course could be a subsection in our own report to pay some focus to it—having done what I would think are the bulk of the consultations, if not all of them, I wonder if the chair has given any direction to staff to draft a report. It would be nice to have the draft report prior to budget time, or to have at least finished the report, so there could be some thinking on the part of government and others to integrate some of the needs in that budget. Certainly it would be nice to finish it and not have it drag on. It's been going on for quite some time and I'm concerned. I would like to see it come to a positive end.
