Let me read you a quote from the task force report, the McLellan report, which was issued in fall 2016:
Canada's governments, and many other organizations, will need to work quickly to prepare for the implementation of the new system, increasing or developing capacity in many areas relating to production, distribution and retail, quality control and enforcement, and research and surveillance. This increase in capacity will require new resources (human and financial), enhancements to existing institutions and the creation of new ones. Having all elements in place will be necessary for the proper functioning of the regime.
They recommended, “that the federal government...[t]ake a leadership role to ensure that capacity is developed among all levels of government prior to the start of the regulatory regime.”
In terms of the first nations or indigenous governments in Canada, has the federal government been working with you on a nation-to-nation basis to develop those capacities?
