I agree with both speakers. There are grey areas, especially in B.C., where you have modern treaties that don't necessarily capture a land mass and are configured differently from some of the treaties as you move east. In those situations I look forward to hearing from the areas that straddle policy, and how they get disqualified or included in different programs. That is absolutely fundamental to our understanding.
My very particular point was that the national indigenous organizations have a much different constituency than those not represented by the AFN. We need to hear from people who are not represented by AFN because AFN has a separate negotiation and funding stream established with the government. There is no national organization that speaks for these three areas of programming. It is those housing providers that are asking for this program to be established and we're responding to that with the study. It's why the City of London has asked for it. It's certainly why the Lu'ma Native Housing Society in Vancouver has asked for this study, amongst others, and it's why even the Inuit here in Ottawa have said they need a separate program. Of course, there are places that straddle this, and I look forward to your expertise in bringing those voices forward from your constituency.
