Thank you, Mr. Chair.
A little background here. I'm first nations. Being an RCMP officer in my background, having lived on reserve, worked on reserve, and also having worked in partnership with family services on the reserve, I've seen the apprehensions take place, and it's very frustrating. It's a hard burden, and it's hard on the heart when we have to see that.
The question I have here is probably twofold. One, with this study, did your committee go into these communities and look, or was it basically survey-type questions?
Second, as we look at the 74% from the Alberta government, what idealistic number would you suggest could help fix this problem?
