The First Nations Fiscal Management Act gives you a clear idea of what I mean by innovation. What you have to be able to do is to create institutions that bring forward innovative ideas. Obviously a lot of the ideas that have been in practice for over a century haven't worked. What we have to be able to do is empower individuals, individual first nation communities, to be able to bring forward innovative ideas individually and collectively.
What we've been able to harness through the First Nations Fiscal Management Act is innovation that cuts across community barriers, and we've been able to break down economic barriers because we're working together. One of the biggest innovations is with regard to federal legislation, giving jurisdictional space, making sure that we have the ability to be able to create capacity, training and to pass on skills to individuals and communities, making sure that there are rules and regulations, which are critically important as we begin to move forward building more and more infrastructure and innovation as it comes to education.
Education is critically important to all of this and that's why I mentioned the whole STEEM approach. We need to rethink how we teach at the local level, but we also have to be able to inspire. That's one of the things that we are hoping will take place through the first nations infrastructure institute so that we will be able to harness individuals who may live in a remote area and who are thinking, let's try a different approach to solving this issue. We want one day to have somebody go up into the space station like our esteemed chair here, and that can only happen if we have a different way of teaching our students and inspiring them.
