I would like to get a little bit deeper than caps on production. I think our nation has historically faced the barriers that other first nations also face in participating in their resource development due to the lack of capital. I don't think that any government policy should ever affect any indigenous right to move forward on a project. We need to look at some of the barriers that are not allowing first nations to move forward.
We were stripped of our wealth. It makes it hard for us to provide equity and to be partners and to reduce the risk and the costs because we can't borrow money. If the bottleneck for first nations to get involved in any project they want to participate in is access to capital, we need to overcome that.
I think the solution is to change the financing system in Canada, with indigenous people leading this transition. Indigenous people are going to decide when and where they want to be involved in a project. If we don't have access to money, then nobody's going to be able to have access to anything. We need to look at that by doing good business and being a good society.
