First of all, there is ongoing work on the framework. A resolution was adopted at our annual general assembly this last summer.
To be clear, in responding to Jean Crowder earlier request that I choose three key steps, they essentially round up to four—the call for the public commission of inquiry. The first of the three is to look to you as a committee to call for a coordinated national action plan.
We did this work, the Assembly of First Nations. We worked with the Native Women's Association of Canada. There are many others, though. You just heard from the friendship centres. As you rightfully reflected, the Métis and the Inuit and many others, grassroots and other organizations, including political, at the regional and other levels, are concerned about this issue and are doing work on this issue.
I think the first piece is to talk about how this committee can call for the recommendation of national objectives, of national goals, and the plans that have been worked on.
In particular, maybe the regional chief wants to talk about that particular session that was held. As portfolio holder, he was responsible for that.
Maybe if it's okay with the chair, then, I'll ask the regional chief to pick up on that.
