In 2012, when we appeared before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, I was asked what major issues were facing Canada. At that time, I said there were two: one was the place of religion in the public sphere; the other was the relationship between the Canadian government and the aboriginal peoples. That hasn't changed. We focus most of our money on those areas now.
If we had more money, we would be able to deal with more issues like the treatment of various peoples in various regions of the country. Not only are we regional in terms of our cultures, but we're also regional in terms of the kinds of racism and discrimination that predominate in any particular area. The kind of racism and discrimination in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick is different from what you find in B.C., for things that don't have to do with aboriginal peoples or religion in the public sphere. If we had more money, we would be able to deal with more issues.
