Last fall, I was in Dettah, and I was very excited to announce almost $40 million to support indigenous languages across the territories. The money was going to indigenous governments. It was going to friendship centres. It was going to broadcasters. There was the literacy council. A lot of people were saying that the right way to do it is to provide it and put it in the hands of different stakeholders.
Can you speak to the work done by Canadian Heritage to move away from a centralized approach to funding, and how indigenous governments and organizations can play a bigger role in decision-making in the design and delivery of indigenous language programming?
