All right. I'll start, and maybe Mr. McGahey, if permitted, will finish.
I do want to say that the Canadian Teachers' Federation, for the most part, does not represent teachers in first nations schools on reserve. However, we do represent teachers who teach the many first nations students across this country who are in public schools. That's not your question, but I just wanted to make that clear.
We know that first nations schools are severely underfunded. Yes, we don't want to just throw money at this, but certainly the money is desperately needed. I think we need to have the conversation. Those teachers and those education people on first nations reserves across this country know best what is needed. There are some examples of schools on reserve that are working in collaboration with provincial governments and with provincial teachers' associations. I think that certainly is a place to start.
I know that in B.C. there is a loose federation of on-reserve schools, some of which do work in coordination, so that it's not just those 300-and-however-many stand-alone schools across the country.
Those are things I suggest, and I think we need to work in concert. That said, I certainly don't have the answers. There could be some expertise you could into from those who are presently working in the education system, and we'd certainly be willing to do that collaboration.
