Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you for being here today, all of you.
It is a real pleasure to hear from you and to see how well you know the issues.
First of all, I have a question to improve my understanding of the subject.
You talked, among other things, about the factors that lead to the need for first nations children to be adopted. For example, it can be poor housing, alcohol abuse and neglect.
Am I right in thinking that if we take action to remedy these factors, we will reduce the number of first nations children in need of adoption?
