You know, it's an issue that I've faced for over 15 years, and I've had the option to do it at many different levels. Capital isn't the problem. There's tons of money out there.
In fact, at one point, I had a financial institution in New York that had $2 billion to engage with major projects in Canada, but they couldn't do it. They couldn't invest, because most major projects come with financing in hand. They have preferred partners. This company in New York thought they would have a back door if they could finance first nations' equity stakes. I even had the Chinese Investment Corporation come to my table and ask whether they could finance our pursuing equity.
Back in those days, though, we never obtained any equity. We never owned a business. We were just starting to learn about rights and title. We were starting to learn the whole world of provincial politics, federal politics. I was one of the ones at my table who said I would prefer not to have equity, because we didn't have the corporate memory, the continuity, and we didn't know enough about the risk associated with having equity. We had to learn how to walk before we learned how to run.
My band now is getting into ownership of businesses using their own financing and their own connection with financing institutions, but it's very small scale. It's basically going with the idea of being vendors to service, what's happening in Kitimat right now.
In my experience, capital is not a problem.
