Thank you for asking that direct question. Yes, we should be doing that. It contributes to the economic base of the first nations and Métis communities of northern Manitoba. However, we need to be providing things beyond social services, social work programs, and education programs. We need to be cultivating scientists.
My colleagues talked about northern meteorology and climate change studies, which is one of the development programs we have for our Bachelor of Science. We rely on our elders to talk about what they have been teaching us for the past 100 years about climate change. It's been coming. But they have been ignored because they are seen as illiterate. They are seen as not as good, because difference translates to lesser. We need to be providing for the whole spectrum in our northern communities, because it makes for a better Canada.
