Thank you, National Chief and Chair.
I've been at this for quite a while, as the national chief says, since 2006, and before that with Chiefs of Ontario on the Walkerton tragedy.
During my time at the AFN, we had the opportunity to meet with former minister Prentice, bless his soul, and when he was quizzed on what it would take to sort out this problem, he said, “It's a matter of money,” and that's all it is. It's a matter of money and the will of the government to put their will and efforts into addressing what you just mentioned, Mr. Shields.
