Thank you.
The minister and I were recently in a conversation with one of the chiefs around what self-determination can mean in terms of economic growth and employment. When the community in Whitecap, Saskatchewan, did their land code through a self-determination and self-governance agreement with the federal government, they moved from 70% unemployment to about 7%.
The opportunity is there with self-governance. We can advance on some of these economic development opportunities through land claim agreements and resource revenue sharing, and looking at it from all aspects of economic development. A number of our programs try to promote that, but it takes a whole-of-government approach in order for communities to see economic development.
