Paula Isaak

I agree with Mr. Borbey completely.

We have to modernize our programs, which have been around for years. Currently, we are modernizing our programs with our partners. In fact, we absolutely have to find out about the communities' solutions, rather than providing our own.

We can do more, but we have to develop policies and programs in co-operation with the first nations, the Inuit and the Métis.
