I think that we always want to make these things much easier for first nations to have meaningful involvement, and absolutely we haven't seen that. We haven't been given that opportunity, so we want to be given that opportunity.
SCO represents first nations that are isolated and don't have a whole lot of opportunity. They're not developing urban reserves in Winnipeg. They're all Anishinabe, but we have three, four or five communities that are probably decades away from really seeing any sort of significant economic development in any of the really important market areas of southern Manitoba.
Our approach is really to try to support those communities and try to build partnerships and support the work that they should be given the opportunity to achieve. That's what SCO has been working on in terms of economic development because we're thinking of all 34. My community, for example, of Long Plain First Nation is doing great here in Winnipeg, but that does nothing for Pauingassi, Poplar River or Little Grand Rapids, who, I will also say, have the most child apprehensions in all of Canada. It has to do with a lack of opportunity, economic development and support in that region.
We think of those communities at SCO. We think of the communities that are behind. In terms of equity, there's just no comparison. They don't have the same opportunity, so we have to try to support those regions that are not in a place where they can capitalize on it.
When I think of the management act, I'm not sure how that will benefit communities like that, but SCO can take the approach and the lead for those communities and hopefully strengthen all of us by tying us together as one. That's the approach we would like to take.
