I'll start. Maybe Mr. Miller can speak. Then I'd like to turn to the associate deputy minister, Val Gideon, who's been working specifically in this area.
I think the reflection of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is a reflection of the fact that in this transformation of how we do business to support indigenous communities, we are also really reflecting about who should be setting those targets and what they look like.
I'm sure you can appreciate that it takes time to start to demonstrate achievement on targets related to long-term outcomes. We are starting to see some modest improvements, for example, in employment and income for people on first nations.
In terms of setting the targets, the real work is working with communities to determine how and what they would like to measure, and how they are going to define for themselves success in the targets that we set together. That's the frustrating part, I think, when you're changing targets midstream, if you will—although, what is midstream in the context of 150 years? All of a sudden, you're measuring new things.
The other piece, I will say, is that we're really reflective of the right to data sovereignty. Indigenous people have been studied ad nauseam—to death, in fact—often with deleterious effects. The concept of indigenous ownership and control over their own data and their own research is a really important concept for the department.
I'll stop there. Maybe I can turn to Marc.
