It is absolutely imperative that we expand the program. Not to impugn Indigenous Services Canada, but in past years they have funded only one land manager per first nation. As you well know, if you have a school in your community and you have only one teacher, it doesn't bode well for the community. You need more educated people; you need more land managers.
In my community, I definitely need three or four more land managers to manage four to five reserves and almost 100,000 acres of land: agricultural, leased and commercially designated lands.
It's absolutely imperative that the program be expanded, because what's good for first nations is also good for Canada.
