Yes, I think those are all key questions. As I said, this isn't my area of expertise. There is some really interesting work that OpenNorth has led, working with first nation communities in B.C. There's also some really progressive work in this space from New Zealand. I really think that bringing some indigenous voices to the table here would be important, because, as you note exactly, data is power. Data is power that these communities have, and traditionally, Canada has not used data in ways that lifted up indigenous communities, to put it softly. Quite frankly, I think we can find very good examples of data being used to marginalize and oppress. It's part of a violent colonial history. So, it's a really important piece of this discussion that needs to take place here.
