More or less, the government hasn't really addressed the gap for indigenous communities. Right now we need more planning money, not just money for hardware. We need capacity and planning money directly on the ground in the communities where these issues are happening, because currently the funding is really scarce.
I think about our members when we were starting to go through the pandemic. A lot of them are in remote communities, where access to Internet isn't good. We had to be creative and find ways to bring that technology to them so they could participate in our meetings.
In my hometown of Fort Nelson First Nation, we have to pay for data, which is really challenging and very expensive. We're very thankful that Northwestel got a huge grant to enable us to get unlimited Internet.
I want to offer my colleague Niilo a chance to add to that.
