Ulaakut. Good day.
Thank you to all the witnesses for appearing today, and thank you to the chair for acknowledging that today is the first day of National Indigenous History Month.
Having said that, I have just one question for France and Mike to respond to.
Also, thanks to Hugh for acknowledging that we're on Algonquin Anishinabe territory.
I think we all know that given Canada's history towards indigenous people, we've tended to see that we have an under-representation of indigenous people—our first nations, Métis and Inuit—in this field.
France and Mike, I wonder if you can respond to this question: What does the federal government need to do to help increase and have sustained engagement of indigenous people in this field?
