Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Indian Affairs. According to audit reports that the minister received on census surveys of aboriginal people living on reserves, the government continues to use incomplete, unreliable and questionable data, to quote the exact terms used in the reports. In June, the opposition brought this situation to the minister's attention.
Will the minister tell us whether Statistics Canada's census takers will have access to reserves in the future in order to take exact population counts, since grants for aboriginal people are calculated on a per capita basis?
