Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Minister, for this opportunity to speak directly to you primarily about the votes presented today. On page 7 of your presentation, you stated that $450 million will be allocated to provide Aboriginals with clean drinking water and improved on-reserve housing.

Many of my constituents are members of two communities not recognized as reserves. What status have you assigned to them? I'm talking about Kitcisakik and Winneway, two communities that have neither reserve, nor off-reserve status. What status have you assigned to them and what do you intend to do for them in these areas?
