Mr. Chair, that's really a very difficult question to answer. As the member rightfully noted, I have not looked at the new funding formula to ensure that it addresses all the items we would hope it was updated to look at.
When it comes to an act and legislative framework, more than just an act is needed. There was an act put in place in 2013, but what was missing were the regulations, which is really the way to operationalize that. All of that has to be thought through. If all of those are steps and actions have been taken, then I do believe they are steps in the right direction. However, I do agree with the member that just making commitments doesn't necessarily result in results. It's really whether those actions will have concrete impact on first nations and communities. That will be the measure of success.
