Okay. Getting land and examining what the economic opportunities are on that land, I think, is an important consideration in looking at restitution. Getting land back that carries with it responsibilities but no economic opportunity can be a challenge to first nations communities. I think that's something we need to understand and respect, that we need to have access to the kinds of properties that can promote economic development in a way that reduces the cost of poverty to our first nations communities and provides opportunity to our citizens to actually be employed and work.
Too many times we find ourselves with membership who are becoming educated—becoming professional and being able to add great value to our communities—but we don't have the economic opportunity for them to come home and work. I think restitution needs to look at, as an objective of restitution, the ability to support this kind of activity.
Now, the challenge we face is that the scope of economic opportunity far outreaches our current capacity to access debt. In Sen̓áḵw, we're talking about two or three billion dollars' worth of development. Without the support of organizations like CMHC to support construction financing, that becomes increasingly difficult. Access to capital is a critical piece and it's one of the reasons the Financial Management Board is proposing in our work plan this year the creation of an indigenous development bank, and we'll soon release the scoping study on that.
What we need to do is to be able to bring Canada's balance sheet to the table, together with the private sector, and create a pool of resources that can respond to the quantum of economic demand opportunity that's facing first nations in this country.
