It falls apart in not handing over the reins to an indigenous, authentic and effective organization early on.
In those processes I've been involved with, I've seen these federal budget announcements that are, say, $30 million or $50 million for one sector of the indigenous economy, and by the time that actually hits the ground, it's been whittled down to a million dollars by the time it actually gets to the authentic indigenous organizations. That's what I've witnessed: more studies.
That's why I said in my opening remarks that we don't need to do any more studies. We don't need any more data. The data is there. We just need to get to work, and we just need to have the steering wheel. We need our turn to solve our own problems.
Thank you.
