Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses. In particular, I'd like to thank Mr. Giroux for being here and for his reports on this and other topics. They're always really, really important for the work we do.
I want to pick up on a line of questioning that Mr. Schmale brought up. I may look at it from maybe a little bit less of a libertarian point of view than he does. I know, particularly from speaking to some of my good friends who work in urban planning and do a lot of work with first nations right across the country, that one of the big barriers for accessing government funding is some of the long application processes that are put together for many of these programs. Oftentimes, many nations do not have the capacity or sometimes even the knowledge of those programs that are coming up.
I'm wondering if in the process of putting together your report this is something that came up. Do you see something like that as impacting perhaps some of the results that are being realized from the work in ISC and CIRNAC?
