One of the witnesses I brought to committee was a young guy who started a company, Kory Wood. He's 27 years old and comes from meagre circumstances. I just met his mother on the plane coming out here. She was so proud of him having appeared at committee, but I think the big difference I saw was that there are two different kinds of thought within the thought processes of aboriginal kids. There are those who have a positive outlook and hope and feel they can change things and become whatever they want to be, and there are those who are stuck in the rut of what has happened in the past.
The ones who are successful were able to get out of the rut, I guess, and that's what we're trying to do, help them get out of that rut as much as we can. I guess what you're saying is help us get out of the rut. I applaud you for your efforts there.
Specifically with regard to aboriginal women, we've seen tragic situations of abuse, systemic and generational. What would you suggest, in terms of poverty too, because that's the last thing? It's difficult. They're in a dark place. A person might be overwhelmed by the kids and difficult circumstances. Again, with the magic wand that you have, how would you help that side of society? How would you help those ladies see a bright future for their lives and get out of poverty?
