Thank you for that. I want to turn my attention to Minister Miller for a minute.
Minister, you and I have had a number of conversations about a project in northern Saskatchewan that we've been trying to have some success on. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It involves the Meadow Lake Tribal Council and a company called One Sky Forest Products. The the idea behind this project was an opportunity to invest in a very successful project that was going to create all kinds of dividends for many first nations in northern Saskatchewan and allow them to participate in the solutions to the housing crisis we face in northern Saskatchewan.
As it turns out, this project didn't fit the normal kinds of operating procedures of the federal bureaucracy and, to put it bluntly, the lack of flexibility became the barrier to getting this project off the ground. I'm just curious to know if you could respond to this. How do we justify to these northern communities, when they want to be part of the solution, that we can't get these projects across the line to allow them to participate and be part of that solution?
