Thank you, Mr. Chair and Mr. Minister.
I feel I have to lighten it up a little. You mentioned the people of Canada and the Prime Minister giving you the best job. I notice the people of Canada tend to correct your mistakes.
I have a very serious question, and you may want Ms. Tining to answer because of the field she came from. It has to do with the first nations and Métis veterans who came back after the Second World War. I grew up on stories from my father of how difficult it was to access the re-establishment fund. This was a fund that was paid to veterans when they returned, to go into business, to buy land, to buy a home, or whatever. There were tremendous problems with the first nations and Métis accessing that fund. To this day, we still have issues over it. When I was on the aboriginal affairs and northern development committee, we had a delegation from the Métis trying to access this fund. I'm wondering how the bill of rights is going to help these individuals.
