I am going to ask you each to answer the next question.
The autonomy and self-determination of the First Nations are values that are very important to me and must be prioritized.
At present, the government finally seems to understand that in order for measures to be effective, they have to be put in place in collaboration with the First Nations, not imposed on them.
You have skills and you have experience, ideas and a culture. All of that has to be put to work.
Is it possible that the explanation for the low percentages of contracts awarded and of successful initiatives can be explained in part, but not solely, by the fact that there has been little inclusion of the First Nations in the processes and consultations and in deciding the changes that have been made?
