I think you resolve the issue by including a third level of government, and that is indigenous communities. If you are referring to the energy sector, probably one of the most successful areas where a trilateral approach was taken was in 1975 with the James Bay Cree. When they created Nunavik, in addition to working through everything they had to do to create the dam, they also addressed social institutions, governmental institutions, other types of infrastructure. Right across the pond is Attawapiskat, and they're in two different worlds when it comes to health.
We have to recognize indigenous peoples as a third level of government in this country, because functionally that's how they are recognized by the court system. If we look at UNDRIP and implementing a lot of things within that document, that's really what we are moving toward, engaging indigenous peoples as a third level.
I think if you have a funder and a service provider, if you don't involve the community, it all falls apart. That's consistent whether you're indigenous or non-indigenous. It's just good governance practice.
