Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mrs. Lévesque, earlier you discussed the importance of bridges of understanding.
I'd like you to explain something to us. How can the federal government make decisions involving the experiences of indigenous communities if the ways of knowing are different? You said that assessment is done differently. I'd like to know if the communities have had experiences that differ from what the scientific data show. In other words, are there any contradictions? How do you go about integrating it all and distinguishing what's good from what's less good?
That's the question. How can we say whether the scientific method applies to indigenous knowledge?
