Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  As I mentioned in passing a little earlier, we have been working with First Nations communities for more than 25 years. In the last five years, we have increased the number of interventions, in response to requests we have received. Of course, in our area, we deal mainly with Crees and Algonquins.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I'd like to answer your question about location. The Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue serves the entire vast area of Abitibi-Témiscamingue, as well as Northern Quebec -- in other words, about two thirds of the province. We have developed strategies to make a university education accessible to as many people as possible.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  I think you have pretty well covered everything.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you very much for inviting me. I will be brief. I would like to draw a parallel with what Edith has just said. The project undertaken at the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue takes us back to the beginning of the Quiet Revolution. In the 1960s, the Université du Québec network was established in Quebec.
