Right now, individuals who are leaving the NIHB program or shying away from it are creating sort of the bottleneck of the wait-list that will occur. Sadly, because the NIHB statisticians here in Ottawa don't have the picture of what's happening on the ground, again it's being reflected in a way that's not accurate.
There are practitioners who have developed competency through working with indigenous communities. You don't get competency just in school. You have to have experiential competency. You have to know the community, participate in the community, be a part of our communities in order for you to say that you are competent. Then you can work because you know our community. Then, of course, you have ethical practice standards and all that continuing education that you do to work towards those competencies.
The truly most competent practitioner is the indigenous practitioner for indigenous people. However, we have a long way to go until we can fill those spaces with full first nation, indigenous practitioners. Until then, we work very hard with our settler populations to ensure that they're competent and that things are indigenous-led. Our indigenous circle chapter has worked tirelessly to create the code of ethics that we implemented from their work on the ground.
I'm not sure if I was answering the question or not.
