Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for making time for the committee.
My questions are for Indigenous Services Canada, and the deputy minister in particular.
The OAG noted that the department had done a gender-based analysis plus, which revealed that indigenous elders, women and youth were more likely to be negatively affected by emergencies.
I'm not entirely aware whether the department factors in these considerations when planning for emergency services. I'm wondering, how does the department plan to incorporate its gender-based analysis plus into its emergency services planning?
