Madam Speaker, in addition to having one of the largest indigenous populations of our relatives in Winnipeg North, the member's riding is also home to one of the largest apprehension rates from Child and Family Services in Canada. In addition, this is a member of the government. However, do not take it from me, take it from a previous auditor general, who said in 2011, at the end of her mandate, that she was not impressed. After 10 years of audits, it was simply unacceptable. The auditor general after that said it was more unacceptable. The current Auditor General's report, which was just recently published, says that the government is failing to put the interests of first nations at the heart of its mandate. When will the government truly take indigenous issues seriously? The government has had seven years. We cannot wait. When?
