Thank you very much, Chair. I appreciate the testimony from our witnesses. I'll be splitting my time with Ms. Falk as well.
I have two big questions on a couple of big topics. In my previous role on the committee for indigenous relations, I met a large number of community leaders and financial stakeholders regarding housing and fresh water—that kind of thing—and access to it. The underlying theme, it seemed to me, was that indigenous people should be making these decisions and also working with different ideas on how to finance them.
My first question is on the funding side. Would a partnership with indigenous communities through infrastructure capitalization agreements, like Alberta's $1.1-billion indigenous opportunities fund, be a potential answer to issues like housing, water treatment, education and that kind of thing, specifically to create new revenue streams for communities to leverage that capital to further economic self-determination?
