Thank you.
It may be valuable, Mr. Chair, for this committee to ask General Leslie to appear before us on this particular issue, because it is unacceptable.
Also very unacceptable are the circumstances facing aboriginal peoples on reserve. You've mentioned in your audits--you didn't mention, you really laid the groundwork--that structural impediments are really hurting the quality of life, the standard of life, and the ability of our first nations, those on reserve, to be able to raise their standard of living.
Would you be able to express to the committee some of those structural impediments and whether there seems to be, and appears to be, sufficient progress by the government to address them?
