I think that's more for the policy committees, the aboriginal affairs committees of the House and the Senate. I left 10 years ago, so I'm not completely up to speed, but I know that many communities have very entrepreneurial chiefs and councils. I think you heard from some of them earlier today, as I understand it. They are doing their best with workarounds. They are trying to find ways to have proxies for mortgages and proxies for rental schemes and proxies for user charges and so on. They're all workarounds, because the fundamentals are unsound.
The three biggest workarounds that Parliament gave first nations are the First Nations Market Housing Fund, which I think you should take a look at; the First Nations Finance Authority, which is a small outfit that does start getting into bond and debenture issues; and the First Nations Land Management Act, which is a way to get out of the Indian Act and take control over zoning and local land use.
None of those are used by a majority of first nations. They're “opt in”, not mandatory. They're a path out of the Indian Act, but almost 30 years later the take-up is disappointing.
