I appreciate your putting that on the table, Chair.
I am hopeful for a couple of things when we get back. I know we have business that will be imposed on us by the House because of the priorities of committee and having to deal with bills.
The work we've done on poverty so far has been very good. I have certainly appreciated the cooperation of everybody around the table. The trip we took to western Canada was very valuable. In the new year I'll talk with everybody a bit about the opportunity I had on the Friday to visit the Aboriginal Centre of Winnipeg, which is quite phenomenal. If you get a chance and you're out there, you should go.
As we had hoped to do in this session, I would hope that when we come back we would have the Senate committees come before us and that we would look at aboriginal poverty in a more serious way. Perhaps we could consider some visits to communities that are suffering deep poverty. But perhaps we could also visit communities where they're doing innovative and positive things that are lifting people out of poverty so we could make appropriate recommendations to government around that. I hope that would be possible.
Also, I believe I still have a motion on the table to set up a subcommittee to deal with some disability issues. I think that would be a good way to deal with this new piece of work we're going to have to do on autism, which was brought forward by the member for Essex. That might be a way to actually get it done and maybe deal with some other issues that are still waiting to be addressed around the issue of people living with disabilities.
Thank you very much.
