Thank you.

My next question is for Ms. Whetung-MacInnes.

I know you did a lot of work in advancing the rights of indigenous communities, including those who face unique barriers on reserves. Could you elaborate on what the challenges look like for the economic empowerment of indigenous women on reserve, and how the federal government can work to remove those barriers and empower women on reserves, where they have unique barriers?
