Thank you for the question.
I don't have tons of experience with first nations issues. What I look at is how Canada is as a country and what our relationship is like with the first nations. I think we need to treat it more as an international relations issue, where we sit at the table with another group of people who have a lot of capacity and knowledge about what they need, and then work together to develop a plan, paying attention to the metrics and the issues that people talk about, what they need, and making a mutual commitment to be able to address what's going on, build a plan, and have some money to actually fund it.
As Canada, the federal government and the provinces as well, we have a responsibility in our relationship with first nations to create solutions, and that includes cash, really.
