The question was, how do you plan on implementing these recommendations? How effective do you think that these recommendations will be? What impact will these recommendations have on the educational process of our youths? Thank you.

I'll ask the question.
I've heard of MK, Mi’kmaw Kina’matnewey. I heard of the organization when I was in law school at the University of Ottawa.
I did a paper on a comparison between education through indigenous-led organizations like MK and a government organization, a governing body, and used the Government of Nunavut as an example.
In my comparison, I found that MK had great success. You had higher graduation rates. You had many better results than a public education system for our first nations graduates. I think that you are such an important example that more Canadians need to learn from.
Having said that, I want to uplift the great work that you do, and wonder if you have any recommendations for ensuring that this national board will have the same success in educating more people about the importance of reconciliation and using an indigenous lens to educate our populations.
