Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all our witnesses for being here today and for their contributions to our important study.
Just as a quick shout-out, Dr. Lewis, I believe your mom is here translating for us again today. That's really cool. She was here during the languages study that we did a while back. That's quite a cool opportunity, and I just wanted to recognize that.
We've heard from a number of witnesses over the last few weeks about the importance of language, culture and land-based learning in the context of successful.... I don't want to focus on just graduation rates, but on successful outcomes for students.
Dr. Lewis, you talked about children being most successful, or most likely successful, if taught in both Cree and English at a young age. Can you help us make the link between what you mean by being the most successful and those outcomes that are a result of being able to do that by, from your experience, catching them at that young age? How does that lead to better outcomes?
