The grand chief is not available yet, so I'll move on.
We have seen and heard from countless indigenous communities that although there are resource developments occurring within their boundaries, they often find it difficult to access capital.
Mr. Foss, you've spoken about how providing that capital has made such a difference in those communities, but first nations need capital to accelerate their economic growth. They need capital to increase first nations jobs, promote first nation residential development and help mitigate the infrastructure gap facing first nations.
We're talking about existing tax revenues. We're not talking about an addition, because I think you said, Mr. Leach, that adding taxes isn't necessarily great for business or great for the communities. What ways could existing tax revenues from businesses on first nation territories be placed under the control of those first nations themselves, or be better directed so as to increase resources available to first nations?
Let's start with Mr. Leach this time.
