This is an area where we actually saw some collaboration with first nations partners and the department. They were co-creating what a mutual accountability framework would look like.
I would give you a visual that looks like a triangle. You would have first nations being accountable to their own citizens, but then also having first nations and the government being accountable to each other, so a nation-to-nation type of accountability.
The first step was to create a way to measure what that would look like, so how you would measure if socio-economic gaps had closed. There was a lot of dialogue and discussion, but then the department went away and came up with measures. I think that's where the first nations said that they wanted to help define how to measure what closing a socio-economic gap might look like, and that it shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all type of solution.
It was a step in the right direction but then a step back to the usual way of doing things. I think that's why we saw it being paused and stalled.
