Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the members for being here today.
First, I have to say that I agree with Mr. Picard. I think one of the problems we would all agree on is that if we cut it off before people end up there, for whatever purpose or whatever reason....
It was interesting when at one of our last meetings one of the presenters indicated that only 30% of the aboriginal community had had any feeling of tribal history or a connection to it. One of the things I was trying to bring back was that relationship between the community and the offender.
In your estimation, is one of the problems that these people have become detached from their history?
