Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would just simply like to thank all of you for being here this morning.
We've been studying this for a number of weeks now, and we've heard from witnesses. The common thread that most of the witnesses have brought forward is the impact the residential school system has had on the community in general.
Since you've identified that--and it will take time, and I understand that--how much time do you think it's going to take before it's basically not the same issue that it was? Or is this something that will be carried forward? What sorts of solutions are there? Shelters are great for the women in the short term, to get them out of horrible situations, but how best can the government help you deal with the residential school system having as big an impact as it has right now? Are you having any success stories in terms of the type of work you're doing to help people get beyond it and to become successful and healthy?
