Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'm delighted to be here to study this particular issue. My 35 years in policing saw the issues of both homelessness and poverty front and centre operationally, for me personally and in my department. Also, serving on our housing board and being involved in our food bank has given me an opportunity to see first-hand how this is played out or not.
In the time that I have, I want to first address the department of health, and mostly Dr. Wiebe.
You spoke about the allocation of $300 million annually to first nations for health and wellness. How do you measure the impact of that money within our first nations reserves? Are you having success? If there are gaps in that service delivery, where are they? Are they by design, or are they in the community of delivery?
