It's leadership with Chief Bear, his vision of our community and how we want to build a better quality of life in our community and take the steps. We look at other successful first nations. We go to visit with them and see what they've done, so we don't have to reinvent the wheel.
We look at municipalities as well. We look at their tax base and we try to incorporate some of that, so we can have own-source revenue in our communities. There are some programs that aren't funded, so we want to make sure that we can maybe offer that to our membership.
As far as the journey, it's been pretty exciting. We started with the First Nations Land Management Act, and we eliminated 25% of the Indian Act. We're able to do business at the speed of business. We started with the golf course, then the casino, now the hotel and hopefully there will be a spa in a couple of years. We have to build an economy, so we started building that with tourism. It's been successful.
We give our membership opportunities at any level they want to start at. They can start at the ground level and work their way up. We have over 700 jobs in our community. We have about 500 people commuting to Whitecap every day. The next step would be self-governing and having a government-to-government relationship.
Thank you.
