Mr. Speaker, one of the amendments that was made to the bill was around funding, that it needed to be sustainable and it needed to be needs based. Once again, we do not want to define everything that should be in the bill. In doing so, I feel we would do an injustice to the intent of the bill, which is to be a framework for indigenous communities to define. It is for indigenous communities to define what is sustainable and what is needs based. That definition will be different depending in what part of the country the community happens to be. There is no one size fits all when it comes to what is sustainable and what is needs based.
I was very happy we were able to bring forward that amendment to make funding sustainable and needs based.
