As I mentioned on the three that were cited in your motion—the excise, the casino and the carbon—those resources, if they were shifted over towards First Nations.... I know this first-hand. When we get control, we will be responsible. We will be very judicious in it, and we'll start thinking. We see it. It's not like all those that are doing well are having a big party; they're putting the money back into their communities.
Where we're really facing that shortage is in infrastructure. I do believe that if there was a plan put in place to target something like infrastructure, you would see the money going towards that, because infrastructure is what provides the vehicle for more activity.
If you can get rid of the legislative issues, which we've been doing to date, and now start dealing with the infrastructure issues, we're going to have a machine going. My concern is that if we lag on the infrastructure, we're going to slow down the train. To me, having a way to target it to the infrastructure is going to be smart for first nations and smart for Canada.
Thank you.
