Thank you very much for being here.
I particularly appreciated the picture you painted of the indigenous soldier being overseas while back home his son was being put in a residential school.
I had the opportunity to sit in on the Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs at a time when they were looking to study a new subject. I raised a question and said that surely this subject had been studied before. It turned out that a Senate committee and a House of Commons committee had looked at the same issue. My suggestion was that maybe the committee should study the recommendations from those previous studies and see how many of them were actually implemented.
My question for you is, has this issue been looked at before? From your perspective, what were the outcomes from the previous studies, if there have been any?
