Thank you. I'll answer that question in two ways.
I'll start with our programmatic work on the ground. In each of our freshwater ecosystem initiatives, we sought out partnerships with first nations and Métis, largely. We have not had the same outreach yet with Inuit, in large part because we don't have freshwater ecosystem initiatives in Inuit communities. For example, in Ontario, we have a relationship with the Chiefs of Ontario and the Métis Nation of Ontario. We're looking at a funding arrangement. We're co-developing that funding arrangement with them to help identify the priorities they would like to pursue in those ecosystems and then implement them.
We take a different approach in each ecosystem, depending on the relationship with the province and the priorities of the province. We're taking a similar approach in the Lake Winnipeg basin. We're working closely with Quebec on identifying ways to work with first nations, and that will be part of our ongoing conversations as we renew our Canada-Quebec agreement for the St. Lawrence action plan. That's on the programmatic level.
At the national level, we have started to engage with first nations, Métis and Inuit at the provincial and federal levels and through a variety of other mechanisms to talk about how we want to work with them on the modernization of the Canada Water Act. The goal here is to develop, with them, mechanisms and ways to interact so that we're being respectful of traditional ways of information sharing and of the information they may hold. We want to make sure we're bringing the water carriers into the conversation.
We're planning to have a bit of a grassroots assembly of first peoples—Inuit, Métis and first nations—to have a conversation around water and share perspectives. We're looking to do so in a way that is sensitive to the needs, approaches and perspectives that first nations, Métis and Inuit have on water.
