Yes, federally and provincially, the general idea is using these previous formulas, if you will. For example, there's an allocation for distribution of funds for things like coming out of COVID, and they would allocate a certain amount. Because you are 2% of the population, we'll give you 2% of the funding. That doesn't work because, quite simply, we have 204 first nations communities here in British Columbia that require much more investment and funds to deal with the issues of COVID or even coming out of COVID. Those formulas don't work [Technical difficulty—Editor] that treatment and that look in terms of engaging with first nations needs to change.
