There is funding. We have a program called the aboriginal aquatic resources and oceans management program—it's very long and very bureaucratic—which provides funding for indigenous groups at aggregate levels to come together either along watersheds or coastal areas. That funding provides dedicated capacity for indigenous groups to obtain scientific, technical, fisheries management, oceans management types of expertise. As an example—and Andy can speak to it more than I can—a lot of the north coast groups in B.C., coastal first nations organizations like the Haida, have gained quite a bit of capacity and have utilized those resources to not only facilitate consultations between the two of us but also for them to have more of a leadership role and have their own dedicated scientific, technical, management capacity that they can rely on to get independent advice.
