Could it have more to do with the process, especially when you have communities endlessly applying for program funding, and the applications Ottawa takes in kind of go around the cotton candy machine and then funding is dispersed out? Could efficiencies be found in maybe ISC or other places in terms of having more direct decision-making power? This is more policy than anything, but the point is that what you're giving is more of a bottom-up and not a top-down approach to dealing with indigenous communities or really anything, I guess.
