In my presentation I talked about capacity-building at the local level and about the communities growing their own professionals. For example, at the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre, we have some training initiative cohorts, and we now have three speech and language pathologists trained in Manitoba. Also, in the last couple of years, we have had 37 special education resource teachers certified in first nations communities. Prior to that, there was no such initiative.
If the government of the day wishes to address this issue, you can start with capacity-building, identifying things such as the one Bernadette talked about, the dieticians, nutritionists, and nutrition councillors. Health professionals have to be trained, and the best way to train people at the local level is through cohorts with partnerships with universities. It can be done.
