I wouldn't have those numbers, but obviously in oil and gas we're seeing that transition to get to renewables and alternatives. I guess that's why I'm here. There's a lot of interest in SMRs, but a lot of it takes working with governments.
The problem right now is that we're seeing a lack of consultation with these members. It might go through the AFN, but the AFN doesn't speak to everybody. Getting the messages down to grassroots communities is often difficult.
We're all for a cleaner planet, of course. We know that, but we're also for finding prosperity. Some things I advocate for, when we're doing these things, are better consultation with members and opportunities to be equity owners in some of these projects, because jobs just won't do it anymore. It has to be different. As long as there's an Indian Act and as long as we continue to see our leaders suppressed by bureaucrats, it will be tough.
Having these alternatives and these opportunities is very key, as long as first nation communities and Métis settlements have the opportunity to say yes or no. That's what I advocate for, and I think that's the approach the federal government should take.
