I'll give it a shot.
You're referencing first nations in particular. They're only one of the four places of interest that make up the indigenous community in Winnipeg and Manitoba. There are first nations, Métis, Inuit and urban.
The first nations are creating what we call urban reserves in Winnipeg. We have two of them now, and then there's another one, a bigger project about 110 acres in size. Basically, first nations can build anything on these sites, but they're still part of the reserve. They're still governed in large degree by the Indian Act and its regulations, which, as you pointed out, sometimes represent barriers to investment from private sector sources.
Going forward, we would hope that the federal government, in negotiating with first nations.... The most important thing we could do there would be to move the Indian Act out of play and create a new legislative relationship between first nations. Then we could also correct the historical imbalance of a lack of relationship with the Métis people who, if not for the Indian Act, would be members of our communities today. Again, that's evidenced because we have Métis individuals who are now acting in Manitoba to re-establish an old reserve around Duck Bay.
Many of the barriers to financing from any source other than government are in the Indian Act itself. It has to go. There are no ifs, ands or buts. It's well beyond its shelf life.
