Without land, you don't really have a culture that has any hope of sustainability. Indigenous Services Canada still has a discretionary spend on health, housing and everything that is indigenous. There's no long-term planning for or long-term investment in that. It's a social spend, and there appears to be no way out of it.
The only way you can really think of to get out of that is to invest in economic opportunities, which include land. If you invest in the community now, you'll see a decrease in spending in the future, because you'll have more opportunities, like the communities that bought into the Clearwater $1-billion opportunity. This is a major industry.
Canada is seeing the slowest growth in major projects and resource development in history, I'd say. Foreign investment is not coming to Canada because of the uncertainty of the indigenous community. Let's provide that certainty back to investors who want to come to Canada and want to partner with us to see prosperity for Canada again, but it's not going to happen without indigenous prosperity.
Thank you.
