In that case, there may need to be more reporting back to the federal government in terms of, “Okay, here's the money you provided. Here's what you were supposed to do. Have you done it?” I think it's going to be different. I think, to me, what's fundamental in that question is the question of responsibility. Who is responsible for education? That's not delivering education, but who's going to be responsible for education outcomes? Who's going to be responsible for health outcomes? Once that is decided, then you can put in an agreement that reflects that. If it comes down to the federal government's responsibility, and it's just to pay a certain amount of money based on a funding formula, and then all of the responsibility for outcomes rests with the first nations, that's fine, but I think you wouldn't expect to get to that situation in every single case.
