I got that part, but if we're talking about independence and you're talking about financial...and you making the decisions, we've heard from several indigenous witnesses saying grant funding does not work for independence. For decisions being made by indigenous people, they need to receive the funds and make the decisions—not accessing them on a rotating grant basis or fighting with others for them.

I'm going to quickly go back to Madame Leach.

Would you prefer block funding with no strings attached for that 10%?
