Thank you for the question.
I think some of the progress that's being made and that we've seen is particularly in regard to using data and turning it into IP for tech, for example. Local indigenous governments and regional institutions like the Assembly of First Nations, Chiefs of Ontario and the First Nations Information Governance Centre have really come together and put forward a lot of policies, principles and practices around indigenous data and how that is collected and used. The next piece is on how it's sold.
I think working with those and understanding the integration of UNDRIP and its principles will also help indigenous people share their traditional knowledge and work, with patents potentially, with other parts of indigenous communities around the world. For example, I was able to participate in a trade mission with New Zealand and Australia with the Government of Canada. We were able to do a lot of work on data sovereignty and IP with our indigenous partners and colleagues through that mission.
Encouraging more participation in those international conversations is important, because indigenous people do make up a large portion of the land base in the world. We do have a lot of commonwealth partners that are working on this as well.
