Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As always, Ms. Fraser, you have put together a very clear and precise report. Thank you very much.
We do see some serious concerns, and I know the minister takes them seriously; however, we've also seen some progress in many different areas. One that I am particularly proud of is the apology in Parliament last year with regard to the Indian residential schools. I know that in my riding, in particular, I have heard nothing but appreciation for this apology, and it's starting to heal the hurt that was done.
Can the deputy minister comment on how this apology has affected our first nations, in particular the people who were involved in this program?
