Mr. Speaker, I tend to agree with the premise of my hon. colleague's question on where the expertise is.
In a former career in academia, I worked on getting others to recognize that knowledge was not found solely in academia but also in communities all over this country.
The reality is that if the government took the time to open its ears, it would realize that first nations in this country actually have something to teach us about governance and transparency. Just because their transparency does not look like ours, it does not mean they are not transparent.
