Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  What we are doing is looking at each individual project. We have reached out to all the Aboriginal Healing Foundation projects. We are going to be serving the clients based on the criteria of our program. We have different criteria. Our program provides counselling with elders, traditional healers, emotional support, and professional counselling.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Good afternoon. Thank you for the invitation to come here today to discuss the government's commitment to mental health and emotional support under the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. The government is committed to a fair and lasting resolution of the legacy of residential schools and recognizes that bringing closure to the legacy lies at the heart of reconciliation and a renewal of the relationships between aboriginal people who attended these schools, their families and communities, and all Canadians.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Oui, bien sûr. In addition to the $125 million provided under the settlement agreement, the Government of Canada endowed the Aboriginal Healing Foundation with $350 million in 1998 and a further $40 million in 2005, for a total of $515 million. The last endowment of $125 million was for a five-year period, to 2012, as described in the healing foundation's corporate plan, released in December 2009.
