Thank you very much.
I have two questions, and I will try to be very succinct.
The first question has to do with the Aboriginal Healing Foundation. That has been defunded. It's winding down. I'm wondering if the loss of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation support is problematic. Does it impact the community?
My second question is—and it was alluded to by Madam Simson. We were in Winnipeg and we met some young people who had travelled to experience their secondary education. They were 13 and 14 years of age. Once they got to Winnipeg, the support worker said that immediately they were identified as innocents in the city by predators and were victimized. They ended up in some very serious situations.
So going back to this question of taking children, very young children, out of their safe home communities and transplanting them for the purposes of education, it sounded very much like a repeat of the residential school experience.
Darlene and Karen, you talked about long distance education, and we've also talked about the fact that stores do try to reduce the cost of food as a partial solution. Is distance education another possible solution, allowing these young people to stay here longer and get their education here? Is that another possible solution? Feel free to answer.
