Well, I think when you have a Department of Indian and Northern Affairs...maybe they can take the lead. They can have the Status of Women at the table, they can have Health Canada, Canada Mortgage and Housing, Education, and they can address it as a whole. I think oftentimes one department doesn't seem to know what the other department is doing.
As well, there's the whole interjurisdictional issue. Education is provincial, and first nations education falls under federal...so there are a lot of hurdles.
Everybody talks about these hurdles at meeting after meeting. As I said, I have 30 years' experience, and we're always sitting at the table talking about the hurdles. But the hurdles are not being addressed--in my mind, anyway.
We're looking at issues piecemeal. Everybody is trying to do the correct thing, but will we advance? Maybe we are advancing, but it's at a very, very slow pace.
