Mr. Speaker, this is a case of people not hearing each other. We have said very clearly that the programming that is intended to continue to support services for former students and their families will be the kind of counselling and paraprofessional services which are provided through aboriginal community-based workers, many of whom speak aboriginal languages; culturally appropriate supports through elders; and transportation to access supports not available to the home community.
We have results of a survey that would indicate that these kinds of programs have been very well received. I would argue there are more available generally and we will ensure they are applicable to all people. As I said several times now in the House, there is a moral and legal responsibility for us to do that.
The programs run by Health Canada are under the Indian residential schools national resolution framework and have been accessed by people who responded to the survey. Some 90% who responded said they had accessed programs and 93% indicated their experience was safer and more supportive as a result of the support they received. About 89% said what they had received in the way of counselling was a very positive experience. Who would argue with that?
