Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you very much for being here.

You said the mood is very sombre. I would say it's very sombre in here as well. The mood is one of concern.

I have here a comment from the 2009 evaluation of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, which concluded that “there is presently no equivalent alternative that could achieve the desired outcomes with the rate of success the [Aboriginal Healing Foundation] has achieved”.

When that evaluation came out, did you have discussions with the minister on the efficacy and the role of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation? If so, can you tell us a little bit about it?
