Okay. Thank you.
Economic reconciliation, I believe, is key for women and their families to find footing in this country. We know successive governments have not addressed the issue of economic reconciliation with respect to indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQIA relatives. I think that having an indigenous loan guarantee with the input of women, families and survivors is critical.
I know governments like to talk about a distinctions-based approach. That has its place in urban environments, where 80% of the first nations, Métis and Inuit population lives. However, it goes beyond being distinctions-based. They have to look at the requirements of those within the community. I really hope those will be considered when defining the parameters of this indigenous loan guarantee.
