May I suggest something?
What we're looking for, I'm guessing, are things that are not already available to the task force in the public space, like published papers and so on. The indigenous way of sharing knowledge is that it does need to be cleared. There is a lot of data that I think would help the task force. It is owned by the communities and it must be respected. I would need to check with the First Nations Health Authority to see what would be able to be released. That is vital data that has been ignored for decades. I cannot submit it just because I was involved in the research.
First nations individuals, based on OCAP principles, deserve at least to have their voices represented in terms of the First Nations Health Authority governance okaying it. I don't know if they're going to be able to do it by Friday. I really hope their voices aren't silenced by a deadline that was just put out without concepts being interpreted from the indigenous perspective.
