Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Minister and officials, for coming in today.
I'll continue a little bit with what I hope MP Vidal was trying to say.
Minister, over 150 years later we are now prioritizing the work you have been doing so diligently. There have been 143 long-term advisories lifted; there has been significant work on education in indigenous and first nation communities, and there is that nation-to-nation community building that is happening.
Minister, how do you ensure the longevity and permanence of the work you are doing, regardless of which government is in power, to make sure that all of this is not at the whim of whichever government is going to prioritize it or not?
