Sure. What we're referring to when we describe what we're recommending with “distinctions-based”...it essentially enables a category of funding that is specifically, in our context, for Inuit to access.
Because of the fact that we have a modern treaty in which our jurisdiction operates...and it's not only the Government of Nunavut. We have Nunavut Inuit organizations that carry out very specific functions. They are also provided an opportunity to create opportunities for Inuit through partnerships with the Government of Canada and, more specifically, by being able to access very specific scopes of funding.
The traditional funding mechanisms in the past enabled very few opportunities, usually on a one-off basis for one specific project and usually for the territory as a whole. Having a distinctions-based funding source enables Inuit to think long term and be decisive about what types of infrastructure can create the foundation that is desperately needed in the territory.
