Thank you again for your kind words about my French, because I have to say that it starts to slip a bit after five o'clock.
I know that the committee has done a tremendous amount of work. I appreciate all the time you've taken to be part of this process.
I took a lot of time to reflect, to make commitments and to speak with people to find out how they felt about the amended version of the bill. We're a new government, and the approach is new as well. I think it's important to take the time to clarify the needs and the approach. It's important to find out how people will respond to these new legislative measures. That's an important step. For me, as a new minister, it's important to better understand how the communities will respond to the measures in the bill and what the process will be for implementing them. More importantly, as minister, I have to make sure that the modernization process at Indigenous Services Canada takes into account the capacity to implement those measures.
