Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Those are two excellent questions.
As I just said in answer to Ms. Jones, I've seen it where I grew up in Labrador. It is literally rendering the wisdom that has been passed down over hundreds, if not thousands, of years in Inuk communities in northern Labrador no longer accurate—I think that would be a soft way of putting it—because everything has changed. The ice highways that connect communities are no longer there when they need to be there.
As I indicated earlier, all of this, including two things you mentioned.... We were talking earlier about getting off diesel, but we're also talking about housing within these communities. There are steps we can take to adapt to a change in climate.
There is the issue that you rightly mentioned about energy advisers. There are about 800 energy advisers in the entire country right now. The Prime Minister and I, just about a week ago, announced that we would begin training. We are now taking proposals on training another 2,000 advisers. We see this as an incredible opportunity to really increase the number of indigenous people and women we hire. They would be in communities that are affected, as they know their communities best. We're using local knowledge and local capacity.
I know we don't have much time, and I don't want to put him on the spot, but because he was my former deputy minister in Indigenous Services, J-F may have something to add quickly to flesh out my answer for Mr. McLeod.
