Thanks so much, Mr. Beaton.

We have 30 seconds more, and I'm going to try to fit in one more question.

You talked about handing indigenous people the wheel, in that it's time for the government to really empower indigenous people when it comes to indigenous procurement.

Are the existing indigenous organizations and indigenous governing bodies sufficient to lead that work, or is there a need for the creation of new institutions, organizations or groupings to administer the process of distributing contracts and managing indigenous procurement?
