Thank you. That's a beautiful question.
I can say also that I don't have a full science background, but many within the circle do. Some of us are trained scientists, and we represent what we would consider transdisciplinary expertise. That includes members of our circle who have health and science, education, social sciences and language and cultural revitalization expertise.
Yes, you're certainly correct that our knowledge is embedded in communities. I think that's one of the tensions we feel in recognizing this large, overarching structure of the capstone and its imposition at this point. Recognizing indigenous knowledge and languages and our support for indigenous research, which very much helps with that revitalization, lies within communities and community governance structures. Certainly, that's the trajectory of where we are with the SIRC plan.
In terms of overall recommendations, yes, I would totally agree with you that there needs to be ongoing development to support the protection of our intellectual and collective intellectual property rights. An important starting point is for Canada to adhere to UNDRIP, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. There is a specific clause in there.... I don't know if I have time to share that with you or if that's enough, but it's article 31.
