Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, thank you for coming and spending some time with us today.
I'm going to jump right in on a subject matter that I think is foundational in the context of your department, and that's education. I would like to start by getting your thoughts on two recent or contemporaneous reports that I think we would be well served to consider. The first, of course, is the national panel on first nations elementary and secondary education. I'd like to hear from you on the significance of this report, with some specific views on the implications of this report for your important work in this regard.
