Thank you, President Obed.
Thank you for the question.
I would like to say, in addition, that in the last budget there was an announcement of $10 million over three years for Inuit research governance. This is welcome. I think it's a first step. I think the number of research programs, calls for proposals and initiatives that Inuit governance structures are already involved in is massive. I'm thinking here of the Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, ITK, board of directors governance structure. In every subcommittee under that in relation to research and science, we mirror that governance structure. We interact with the research fields of at least 10 different federal departments and agencies. The number of requests for engagement without appropriate remuneration is inequitable from the get-go.
For the next three years, we are looking to develop a governance framework that could assist in future opportunities to work in tandem and in partnership. There are opportunities that come along on which we think we could be doing so much more.
