Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When I ask a question to Indigenous Services Canada, I am often responded to with the answer that indigenous communities do not have the capacity nor do they have the infrastructure to do the tasks, but your report here, as I read it, points out very clearly that Indigenous Services Canada lacks capacity as well to get the job done to serve the indigenous communities. I thank you for clarifying who is capable, who has the capacity, but we all understand that we have to work together to get tasks done. How can you encourage your department and the indigenous communities to work together? The indigenous people live in their own homelands. They know the land, the environment and their lives. I would encourage you to get to know the subjects that you're talking about, the indigenous people and the environment and the community.

No. I'm sorry. I can hear the translation. What I'm saying is that I'm imploring you to make stronger recommendations to not—or, I don't know—because I really appreciate your report, and I'm concerned that all the auditors general are going to keep making recommendations that are not going to be implemented. The one recommendation that I really appreciate is that you're telling them to work with first nations. How can you make it stronger—that they have to, and not that it's a recommendation? How can you tell us to tell them to make it mandatory? Give us the message that we need to give to Indigenous Services Canada. What is your one sentence to make sure it happens? That's what I'm asking.
