You mentioned, though, that you spent a considerable amount of time in a painstaking and thankless task of going through provincial budgets. There is another order of government, which is the nation-to-nation relationship with indigenous peoples, where we spend billions and billions and billions of dollars.
As an indigenous person, I would like to know the impact of those funds we're spending, not just simply isolated from the larger national picture, but the overall impacts. What are the productivity levels? How do they impact the economy? What are the unemployment levels? What are the education levels that come out of it?
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem.... Once in a while we get the Auditor General to delve into a few of these questions, but no one seems to do it on a continuing basis, and since there's really no independent parliamentary officer looking at it, it's very hard sometimes for parliamentarians or even people in the department to understand what's occurring, or even to have a juxtaposition of those different viewpoints on what's important and what's not.
