Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Dockstator, I have to confess that I have one small problem. I do not understand the mandate of the First Nations Statistical Institute, the FNSI. Can you explain it to me again quickly? I do not want to spend the entire seven minutes on it. My feeling is that it is in competition with Statistics Canada. Does the FNSI have specific responsibilities vis-à-vis First Nations that Statistics Canada does not?
I am very worried by the fact that we have no figures. Ms. Badets gave us figures in June, but we do not know the real status of Aboriginal groups who live in communities or on-reserve. Do you intend to do a statistical study on the impact of the 2% ceiling. By that I mean that is not possible to devote more than 2% of the funds to First Nations. It is no good gathering statistics on First Nations' economic health; if they have no education, no work and are in poor health, it is no good at all.
I have to say that I am in two minds on this matter. I will let you respond and then I will ask Ms. Badets a question.
