Thank you.
I have one quick question. It's based on a response you made regarding self-governance. You indicated that you found there weren't enough performance outcomes tied to some of the funding agreements. I'm very disappointed to hear that's how you measure relationships within indigenous nations.
As an indigenous person, I'm hoping that we've moved quite a ways past the paternal attitude from federal governments and provincial/territorial governments and we're working towards a truly nation-to-nation type of arrangement. I would expect that we would come up with funding arrangements such as our self-governing fiscal policy that would allow the indigenous governments to govern themselves and to do it how they see fit, not compared to how we funded band councils and analyzed their performances up to now.
Could you maybe clarify if you're still using the same measuring stick that we've been using for the last 150 years when it comes to band councils and indigenous governments for the new relationships that we're developing and signing agreements with?
