I think government needs to include the leaders of these communities. That's the simple answer.
Until you reach out to them, and until you get their ideas on what they would need economically, we'll never know.
Part of reconciliation is actually reaching out to your local indigenous communities and seeing what they need, because each of us is different. Your communities in Ontario are going to be different from what I see in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and each has differing responsibilities and needs.
I would say, reach out to them, ask them what they need, and then go from there.
