This may not be on specific projects, but certainly to follow up on some of the challenges, the new fiscal relationship is obviously a step in the right direction to get away from programs, but it was underfunded from the start, and the 2% escalator doesn't even match inflation. Challenges for first nations around capacity to participate at any stage of a project's life cycle, including feasibility studies or doing due diligence and technical assessments, are things that programs just aren't going to address.
Again, it's one of those problems or challenges in which if you don't already have it, you're not going to be able to participate fully. It's exclusionary in nature to have programs like the ILGP. They are absolutely great and fantastic, and they will be taken advantage of by those who are capable of doing so and are in a place where they can do that, but for those nations that don't already have that bureaucratic infrastructure and that capacity in place to participate, it leaves them further behind.
