It's important to realize that the capital markets have plenty of money to invest into good opportunities. The indigenous community is an opportunity for them to invest into providing finance while earning interest. Indigenous communities are looking for low-cost capital to undertake infrastructure, housing and business projects.
The witnesses you heard on Friday have some great ideas on how to leverage some government backstop to attract private-sector capital. The indigenous growth fund that we recently launched did that with the Business Development Bank of Canada, FCC and EDC, along with the Government of Canada. We use this concept of a tiered approach to investors coming in and leaving in an evergreen model as a good model that can be utilized around the world.
We're just looking for different innovative financial mechanisms to attract public-sector capital, because the government's unsustainable approach and inability to keep up with the growth of our community requires us to think differently, outside the box, and to co-develop different financial tools to ensure that we can do the work on the ground.
