We have very little in the way of information, statistics or documentation on indigenous women and girls and economic development, the economy and so on.
As I said earlier, funding should be provided in order to study and document the theme of indigenous women and natural resource development. That would help us determine what those women need so they can hold positions on sites, acquire more training and entrepreneurial support and so on. We need to know more about women and economic development and all the development that's being done on the land.
I'd also say that some communities in Quebec are approaching promoters for the purpose of developing natural resources but aren't doing it in an organized way. Certain criteria have to be met to respect the indigenous families that use the land.
