Thank you for coming to the committee.
It's good to be back.
My questions will be for the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Homes on reserve is the theme that I'm thinking about because when I think of a home, I think of my own home. I look at it that it should be the same way for aboriginal peoples; they should feel at home on reserve.
I want to ask a few specifics about what is spent and whether it is value for dollars, etc. The most recent stat I have—this is a 2011 stat, so it's a bit dated, but that's the best we have—is that the number of aboriginal people in Canada who live on reserve is 314,367. That's what I have here. What is the mandate of aboriginal affairs when it comes to providing housing for aboriginal people on reserve? Please make it as succinct a response as you can.
