Dr. Parent, I want to go back. I'll start at the micro level and pull out. Then you can choose where to step in.
I was speaking to a really brilliant, young indigenous researcher the other day from Treaty No. 9, who expressed her frustration. She was gathering data on indigenous subjects in a non-indigenous environment. She said, on the need to explain what indigenous data and knowledge meant in a non-indigenous world, they said, “You're indigenous; figure it out”. These are complex. These are about respect. Again, knowledge is power. She felt that trying to work in an institution that doesn't have the frame made her work very difficult.
I ask you that, given that capstone is going to step in. We don't know the structure. We don't know how the money flows. We don't know how the governance works. We don't know if it's another great idea of bureaucracy that's just going to sit there.
How do we make sure that carved-out space is there to have that indigenous perspective protected? How can that be? Is it possible?
