Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm going to time myself.
Very briefly, what I'm hearing is that the old way of doing things at Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada and Indigenous Services Canada is no longer working. Ms. Hajdu, you said that you would like the targets to be set in consultation with indigenous communities, groups and nations.
Today, we're discussing the report, which was requested in 2021 and received in 2022. I hear that we can no longer rely on the rules or ways of doing things that existed before, because things have changed. I don't know if I'm interpreting what the officials are saying correctly. I didn't think I would have to analyze the Parliamentary Budget Officer's approach because there are new data and new ways of doing things that make the picture we have in the report not accurate. However, I'm hearing that we don't have a good picture of the departments, given the many nuances and things we would like to see done that can't be done here. I hear that what we do, as elected members on this committee, isn't relevant. I'm saying this with all due respect, but that's what I'm hearing.
I'm wondering if you have an idea of how to do things differently. If the Parliamentary Budget Officer doesn't have the tools he needs to do his job, as he seems to be saying, what can we do?
The question is for everyone so that this can change. It would be a shame and worrisome to go through exactly the same thing again, as much for Quebeckers and Canadians as, of course, for indigenous peoples.
