Prof. Graham Gagnon at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

In my testimony, to follow along your line of thinking, we developed a benchmark based on best practice in the Atlantic region. Then we pilot-tested those benchmarks. We didn't necessarily pilot the community's ability to meet the benchmarks but we piloted the benchmarks themselves, so we asked the questions, “Do these benchmarks make sense? Are they achievable?” Then we asked how much it would cost to actually achieve those benchmarks. So we are following the same playbook, I guess.
