First, let me say that I have never said, “No problem, don't look here.” I am the first to say that we are still in a colonial system that oppresses indigenous people, so let me be clear about that.
Secondly, what I will say is that we are doing everything we can to ensure the department is fully resourced to meet all of its obligations. As you know, budget deliberations are confidential. I can't explain to you the requests I have in front of the finance minister, but I can tell you that the Prime Minister's expectation of me is to fight for indigenous people's right to be self-determined and to have the equity to be able to do that.
Thank you.
