Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, ladies, for your most interesting comments.
I have a question, first of all, for Nakuset, if you don't mind. You talked about counselling for aboriginal men. Who would provide that?
And that works into a question I have for you, Ms. Gabriel, if I may. You talked about education being so important. You say it's a lack of education in government. Could I ask you to specify what you see there that needs to happen?
You also talked about economic independence. I recently read an article by Chief Commissioner Manny Jules. He talks about economic independence as well, in a variety of ways for your aboriginal people. He's working on a specific issue: fee-simple land ownership. That may be something you want to talk about.
I guess the question for me is, where does the education start? How do we encourage young people from aboriginal communities to stay in school so that they can become the counsellors and the social workers within their own communities, or the police officers, if they're in their own communities? What I'm hearing from all of you is that it's people who understand the cultural values and the history who need to be providing this. So how do we encourage young people to stay in school and to get those certificates, and beyond certificates, that you say are required within their own community?
Nakuset, I don't know whether you'd like to talk first about all of this, about who you see providing the counselling. And then perhaps we can move to Ms. Gabriel--
