Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Am I able to follow up?

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you. I apologize if I cut you off. About the need for consistent funding, I'd like to tie that in to the previous question about outcomes as well. As Ed touched on, the need for consistency in community programs on the ground so that you can build momentum and get people involved and build on success, and being able to do that without having to worry year to year about proposal-based funding, is really key.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Thank you. Good afternoon to the members of the committee. As Ed said, Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation and other self-governing indigenous governments have been working together with Canada on updating Canada's fiscal policy on self-government and building out what expenditure is needed for various areas of responsibility, including indigenous languages.
