I think that is a significant complexity. Let's remember that at least with the provinces, while they receive significant money from the federal government, most of them also have revenue-generating capacity, whereas for the first nations, how much revenue-generating capacity they would have would be very different from one first nation to another first nation.
I think it really does come down to that question of responsibility, and I think the federal government's aim in this shouldn't be to try to push responsibility to the first nations. It should be what responsibility the first nations want to take on and what they can take on. Then you need to have an agreement that reflects that.
If you could have a situation where a first nation says that if it has this funding formula, it is going to be 100% responsible for the socio-economic situation of all of the people on its reserve, and if anything goes wrong, that's on the first nation, then you can work with that type of an arrangement. However, you need to be very clear what it is, and it's not going to be the same in every case.
There are going to be very many cases where the first nations will say, “Yes, we will do some delivery, but maybe we don't have all of the capacity to prepare the programs or whatever help we might need.”
