Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to you both for being here today, and for your very enlightening testimony.
I want to pick up on something mentioned by my colleague opposite. She said there are some things that are problematic in this bill. What has struck me most today in hearing what you've been saying, and what was said by a previous couple of witnesses, is a proverb I think we all know: The best is the enemy of the good. We now say: The perfect is the enemy of the good. This is human nature. We all want a perfect solution, and sometimes we reject a more moderate—the glass is half or three-quarters full—solution for that reason. It seems to me that is what so many people might be saying.
I want to thank you for accepting the fact that, while this might not be exactly what you want to see, it is definitely a step in the right direction—Mr. Clarke's intentions are to improve the quality of life for aboriginals in Canada. That's what strikes me the most.
Does that accurately reflect what you're trying to tell us?
