Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for your excellent presentations.
My first question is to Ms. Howard. In northern Ontario, the friendship centres do a fantastic job, as they do all across the country. I'm really impressed with the level of services for the amount of money that you receive and the challenges you have.
My first question is a bit of a different take from Mr. Shields', a different opinion. I know you work with municipalities, but as a former councillor myself, I know some of the municipalities don't necessarily work with you. Do you have a specific educational program to help municipalities, especially on the racism front? There are a lot of municipalities that still have racist views and some councillors, and I want to know if you have any specific programs to help municipalities and communities with racism.
