Yes. Thank you very much.
I agree. I think the dispossession of our lands, and then our being left homeless on our own lands is tragic.
My last question could be for either one of you. A 2016 report by the Urban Aboriginal Knowledge Network found that urban indigenous organizations in all provinces are underfunded. Demand for services keeps rising, and yet governments continue to refuse to adequately fund organizations. At our last meeting on Tuesday, I raised the fact that the dollar amounts allocated for the indigenous strategy—and that, again, is not yet released—is a pittance in comparison to the actual need.
Can either one of you speak to the importance of funding that is adequate and sustainable on an ongoing basis?
