Sure.
There is a Québécois songwriter called Félix Leclerc, and one of the lines in his song is “The best way to kill a man is to pay him for doing nothing”.
That rings true to all of us, because the way people validate their sense of self-worth is through the work they do. We have to have work that returns reasonable income and has other benefits to our communities. In the U.S., they proceeded forward with casinos in indigenous communities, and a couple of years ago those casino revenues exceeded $30 billion.
With our pipeline corridor operating with a full slate of pipelines, $30 billion is the amount of money that would be largely flowing to first nations in western and northern Canada. There is no other way we can do that, and the government can't create a situation to artificially create real wealth like that.
The unfinished business of Canada is integrating the indigenous people into the economy of the country where we are major players. We want to do that, but unfortunately government policy is standing in the way.
