Thank you, Grand Chief Solomon.
I'm going to point out one thing with regard to your previous question. The cost of doing nothing is huge. We need to look at the impact of the last 10 years, set that aside, and begin to do some damage control there.
With respect to what's been done and what's working, again, turning to our communities and recognizing that we've got the best of the best on the ground. They're strong. They're resilient. They know the people.
Through the Honouring our Strengths framework, that looked at addictions and mental health, there's been some good work done with nothing, but now we need the investment. In AFN's budget submission on mental wellness, it included mental wellness teams to reach all communities; new funding for 80 new teams, at $500,000 each; crisis response teams via the expansion of a national aboriginal youth prevention strategy; capital to ensure safety and maintenance of national native drug and alcohol programs and treatment centres; capital for five new treatment centres, healing centres, as per the TRC calls for action; extension of the Indian residential schools resolution health support programs, also to be utilized during the missing and murdered indigenous women inquiry process.
One of the demographics that go unnoticed is people with disabilities. We need to recognize that in our communities, we have so many that are so underfunded, under-focused. These people are suffering in silence. We need to focus on people with disabilities as well.
