Good afternoon, everybody.
I want to thank our witnesses for coming today, for sharing their information with us and for being willing to participate in this committee proceeding.
Most of my questions are going to be for Ms. Campbell. As probably most of you are aware, she comes from northern Saskatchewan, as she identified, which is actually my riding as well, so I'm gong to focus most of my questions in this round on Ms. Campbell.
Ms. Campbell, you talked about the data collection right at the end of your remarks. You talked about sharing data and data collection. This has been an issue that we have been talking about for a few weeks. We were able to talk about it with the national chief—I think it was a couple of weeks ago—and with some of the national leaders of the Métis people and whatnot. I understand that there's been some progress, and I heard that from your comments as well.
Can you maybe elaborate a little on the importance of improving that data collection and the need for that sharing of data so that the decisions are being made with accurate information? Some of those silos and some of those challenges that we find jurisdictionally are overcome a little bit when the data is shared, and you can better make decisions on structuring supports and staging that support appropriately.
