In relation to the loan guarantee fund, we're pleased that the Government of Canada has put aside such a large amount of money for major projects. We had hoped there would be a distinctions-based consideration for those funds so that there would be targeted funds for Inuit, first nations and Métis. That does not seem to be the case.
This is a new consideration from the Government of Canada. We're used to working with grant funding through budgets or other means. There needs to be a larger outreach from the Government of Canada and a larger consideration for how indigenous peoples can think about this loan fund in the suite of different supports that we have for economic development and the sustainability of our communities.
