Human Resources committee  Yes.

Human Resources committee  Yes, I think if we had an indigenous CMHC—as we say in our paper, “for indigenous, by indigenous”, led by indigenous people—then we wouldn't have to teach and explain. We're different. Our needs are different. We really need to partner with you folks. I'm going to put it back to

Human Resources committee  Yes. They did talk about $20,000. They would give $20,000 towards homelessness. I don't even have words for that.

Human Resources committee  We don't, but there would be a small number who don't come from rural.

I know that we've talked about dollars. Off the top of my head, as soon as you said dollars, I just went blank. I

Human Resources committee  I know that what we've been talking about with some of the sub-projects here is the way they write the proposals.

Human Resources committee  Well, I think people sometimes get stuck in that one way of doing things.
