Finance committee  We would add that, as another way forward, there are the 94 calls to action by the the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We're challenging institutions, systems, and agencies that are receiving funding right now for care, treatment, and support in Canada and Saskatchewan. Which ones of those calls to action are they implementing within their institutions and their systems and their agencies, so they can provide better care, treatment, and support for the indigenous people who are presenting themselves there?

Finance committee  We are working at a national level with the National Aboriginal Council on HIV/AIDS, giving direction to the Minister of Health in addressing HIV in Saskatchewan, primarily around the indigenous people. We're looking at approximately $100,000 a year for care, treatment, and support for somebody who is newly diagnosed with HIV.

Finance committee  I just wanted to make sure I could get all of my vision in for today. Thank you. There was a strong relationship between the cumulative effects of historical trauma and current trauma, including sexual abuse and higher incidence of HIV infection. Among the 1,045 participants who provided a blood sample for testing, 5.2% were HIV 0 positive, and 55.8% of these were aware of their HIV status.

Finance committee  I will greet you in four languages. Tansi, Cree; aaniin, Saulteaux; tanshi, Michif; bonjour, French. [Witness speaks in Cree] Thank you, Creator, for this day. First and foremost, I would like to acknowledge the land and the indigenous people of the land. My spirit name is Okisewâtisiw nôtinikêwiyiniw iskwew, which means kind-hearted warrior woman.
