I think one of the biggest challenges that we face, and what I convey to our partners whether it's a trading institution or services, is that youth don't trust.
Since 1990 the image that they are seeing and striving toward is not to trust Canada and not to trust anyone other than our own people. I think there's a power in what the first nations technicians like myself are seeing. That's where we have to help our youth.
We opened up adult regional centres in Quebec and they're going there to get their high school diploma. These are adult learners who have been failed by the external systems. They're coming back, they're single parents, they have social problems. The teachers who are first nations are seeing them come to class every day because for the first time they feel like they belong in that environment, that they're being exposed to language and cultural courses on top of the requirements that they need to get their secondary 5.
I tell people that the key here is that they want to hear and trust their own people before we bring them to our partners, and hand them off and work with them.
