I think I would stand by my comments. Certainly in terms of accountability to Parliament, it's very important to define the objectives you're trying to achieve and then try to figure out how to measure them, and then organize your data collection and your reporting and accountability mechanisms around that. If that methodology wasn't the right one, then you should still be seeking that kind of learning software in the way the state operates.
I would say the lesson of the last 20 years is that pouring money into issues without structural reform will not really change fundamental trajectories. I joined Indian Affairs in 2006, and after nine years of the Harper government and nine years of the Trudeau government, my biggest disappointment is that the Indian Act is still there. I would hope you would all make a commitment that the next parliament, the 45th Parliament, is the parliament that repeals the Indian Act. That is one of the fundamental issues that's obstructing progress on first nations communities.
I'd be happy to go into the specifics of the obstacles to first nations housing on reserve, if you would prefer, but I think my message to you is that you cannot get the results you're looking for with the legislation and the structures of government we have in place now. Now is the time for deep, profound structural reform.
