Mr. Speaker, after my friend raised this matter the last time, which was several months ago, I believe I directed the staff that once a year where we use statistics the band officer provides us-there are 605 First Nations-with a statutory declaration of the actual numbers.
Again this is another tool, but it is not primarily what 80 per cent of the services with aboriginal people are based on. They are based on actual counts between the regional director gener-
als and the people in the field who know whom we are dealing with. If we do not, we should not be in there.
