Thank you for the question.
I would say two things.
First, we are transparent about all the funds we spend. Our audited financial statements are available on our website. You can clearly see the expenses and determine, for example, whether the funds were spent wisely or if there are any surpluses.
Furthermore, I completely agree with you, Mr. Lemire. We must focus on the most vulnerable, smallest and most isolated communities, because it is harder for them to access services. Moreover, the risks are enormous.
I believe we have already begun to gradually adjust our approach to spending. Instead of using a generic form—that is, a form that specifies exactly where various funds must be spent—we are focusing on isolated communities. We are allocating additional funds for factors such as the remote location of certain communities, because we recognize the importance of strengthening the capacity to provide the necessary services to these communities.
I don't have the answer, but I do believe we have to start somewhere. We have to acknowledge that there are risks, especially for small communities. We need to work with indigenous peoples, including first nations, to determine what communities need in order to meet expectations.
