Human Resources committee  I have to second-guess my answer a little, because I have seen cases in history in which we put money out to indigenous people and then it's not.... We must have strong parameters around how it's going to happen, so that there isn't infighting amongst.... But yes, I would recomme

Human Resources committee  I would, if it's inclusive of everyone.

Human Resources committee  Yes, most certainly.

Human Resources committee  No, although we're funded mostly through indigenous programming for indigenous people, we don't stop anyone from coming in. We're a small community and everyone accesses services through us.

Human Resources committee  Yes, we're doing it with very limited funding and limited resources available for our community.

Human Resources committee  In answer to the question, no, there's never enough money when you're dealing with that number of people. As Ms. Nicolet referenced as well, our number increased phenomenally around there, and so when we have clients who come in and they're accessing services like that.... During
