Jean Crowder at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thanks, Mr. Chair.

I want to thank the witnesses for coming today.

When I was reviewing things like the annual report from the Aboriginal Healing Foundation and other material, it seemed evident that the mandate of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation was to have community-based healing projects in place. When I look at the mandate of the Health Canada program, it appears very much individually driven. Based on that, it seems that they have two separate focuses.

I'm not clear on how you think the Health Canada program is going to replace that community-based initiative. It's not evident to me in the presentation you made, nor in the Health Canada information.
