Thank you, Chair.
To all our witnesses, thank you for your testimony. As you know, what we are trying to do on this committee is study how best to integrate indigenous traditional knowledge and science into government policy development. I would really like to hear from you some practical suggestions as to how we might do this. Government policy can be initiated, as an example, through federal government agencies. I'm thinking about research dollars and things like CIHR, NSERC, etc.
What would you say about some of those government agencies being required to look for indigenous collaboration or consultation in some fashion in granting those research dollars? I just throw that one out, but do you have any suggestions?
Perhaps, Dr. Turner, we could start with you.
