I'm sure everyone at this table calls you a friend as well.
When you're talking about the mechanics of big government, when you have big government it's hard to have big freedom, so to speak. It's very difficult to move quickly on certain topics or certain priorities. It's a big boat to move.
To your point, rather than talking about endless program funding and endless feeding of this machine, a better way for tax dollars to have more velocity might be to give them to the community and have them decide what the priorities are there, rather than having this back and forth between Ottawa and the indigenous communities—or non-indigenous communities, really, if it's not this department but another department.
