Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank the Member for the question. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report is probably one of the major reports with regards to Aboriginal people and how residential schools affected them, and as the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, I'm the current chair of the Aboriginal Affairs Working Group. With the new federal government in place, they have placed working with Aboriginal people and Aboriginal governments as a top priority. We have always reached out to the federal government to participate in the Aboriginal Affairs Working Group, and I'm very pleased to say that when Minister Bennett, the Minister for Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, was in Yellowknife we had the opportunity to meet. She specifically requested that the federal government be part of the Aboriginal Affairs Working Group. I see it as a significant opportunity for all of the provinces and territories, all of the national Aboriginal governments and the federal government working together, not only on truth and reconciliation, but on other important Aboriginal issues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
