Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for coming today.
I want to start with the comparability of service. I think we know that it's a large issue, and the minister already touched on it.
I want to come back for a moment to the Auditor General's report. In her report, in 4.25, she says, “In our view, INAC needs to define what is meant by reasonably comparable services and find ways to know whether the services that the program supports are in fact reasonably comparable.” In recommendation 4.26, she said, “define what is meant by services that are reasonably comparable” and “define its expectations for culturally appropriate services and standards”.
I haven't seen anything to say that analysis has been done. In fact, I think when Ms. Johnston was speaking, I wasn't able to determine what this analysis was.
What specific analysis has happened around comparable services? What specific analysis has happened around culturally appropriate services? Can the committee have the results of the studies that were done on comparability?
