Obviously, if there are more organizations willing to support indigenous communities, they will have better chances and greater success. We didn't look at all the other agencies, since we can only look at the federal government. I can tell you that the Quebec City regional office within Indigenous Services Canada has made capacity‑building a priority, and has received increased funding for it. I think this is a long‑term approach because building a community's capacity fosters its self‑determination, which is better than simply giving money to fund some project. It's the long‑term vision that's best.
