Yes, I think preventative support services or treatment programs would be well resourced.
I read some background information on this bill, and I'm sorry if I can't remember from where, but it talked about there perhaps being the possibility of developing an action plan with indigenous groups to provide well-resourced preventative community-based services and alternatives. I think that's fabulous.
My work as a lawyer has been primarily at treaty negotiation tables, watching communities get to self-government. We've got enough communities that are capable of running these programs, and I think that if it's well resourced, it could be a real shift in their getting some autonomy or authority or jurisdiction over this issue and dealing with it in their community.
You tend to find with first nations communities that when they are part of creating the solution, it tends to work. I think the community members embrace it. It gives it more legitimacy if it's not coming from on high, because instead it's a case of, “Oh, this is our community's approach.”
