Thank you, Mr. Chair. Very briefly, I want to back up my colleague with additional remarks there.
In this government we developed a capacity, a community capacity. I think that's an agreed-on priority and way of operating in the North. But it requires consistency over time. I
think that's
recognized.
It would be nice to know, with these federal dollars, of course — had we been talking about them — how long they’re established for and so on, because I don’t want to see us undermining our capacity and that of the communities for a one-time federal program that might last two years and then disappear, and we’re left without capacity and the corporate knowledge to deliver those programs in our priority areas.
