Generally, from what I know about the act and the intention of the act to provide equitable opportunity of access, I think there are good elements within the act already, but I don't think that getting into the details and providing those by fine-tuning it to create even more issues by putting dollar amounts on hospitality is helpful for us doing the work, especially when the AFN recently came out with a document called “Closing the Infrastructure Gap by 2030”. It outlines a need for $349 billion to cover basic infrastructure in indigenous communities to ensure we have standards of living equitable to those of every other Canadian. Then we can think about prosperity, business and contributing to the economy.
There are going to be a lot more indigenous organizations approaching, and we want to recognize that we are a bit different, in that we have a culture, we have ceremonies and we have a process. In putting a certain value on a meal, maybe in a certain situation that meal in a different part of the country will allow for only a salad and dessert or something like that, and not the meal, just to put it in perspective.
