"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3491802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Yes. We believe that very strongly. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491803\" data-originallang=\"en\">The way it is now, they can't do anything on their land. They can't improve it. They can't sell it. They can't make any money. They can't generate revenue for anything to do with their land. Basically, they're allowed to use it, but they can't improve themselves in the sense of being entrepreneurial, to increase businesses and to develop. If they don't have the ability to develop because the government is regulating them continuously, then they can't become more like the rest of society, right?</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491804\" data-originallang=\"en\">I think the younger generation on first nations land is very open and wants to move forward and become a self-sufficient society. They don't want to have to deal with the government anymore. They want to be able to take care of themselves. As an outside developer\u2014and before I came to this company I had never been involved in residential development on first nations land\u2014I could not get over the complexity and the difficulty and the constant need for consultation and legal advice and the costs involved. We had difficulties with the CMHC for mortgages. The banks couldn't understand it. The lawyers don't understand it. There's a constant burden, in every area, of doing any kind of transaction on first nations land. Outside developers would run away from this because there are so many more risks involved with it, over and above what a developer normally risks. </p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3491802\" data-originallang=\"en\">Oui, nous appuyons sans r\u00e9serve cette solution.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491803\" data-originallang=\"en\">En vertu de la Constitution actuelle, les Autochtones ne peuvent rien faire sur leurs terres. Ils ne peuvent pas les am\u00e9liorer, les vendre ou en tirer quelque argent que ce soit. Ils ne peuvent obtenir de revenus pour l'utilisation de leurs terres. Essentiellement, ils sont autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 les utiliser, mais ils ne peuvent les am\u00e9liorer eux-m\u00eames \u00e0 titre d'entrepreneurs afin d'accro\u00eetre le commerce et faire du d\u00e9veloppement. S'ils ne peuvent faire de d\u00e9veloppement parce que le gouvernement les r\u00e9glemente constamment, ils ne peuvent devenir davantage comme le reste de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, n'est-ce pas? </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3491804\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je crois que la jeune g\u00e9n\u00e9ration qui habite sur les terres des Premi\u00e8res Nations est tr\u00e8s ouverte, souhaite aller de l'avant et devenir une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 autosuffisante. Ces jeunes ne veulent plus avoir affaire au gouvernement. Ils veulent \u00eatre capables de prendre soin d'eux-m\u00eames. \u00c0 titre de d\u00e9veloppeur ext\u00e9rieur \u2014 et avant d'entrer au service de mon entreprise, je ne m'\u00e9tais jamais occup\u00e9e de d\u00e9veloppement r\u00e9sidentiel sur les terres des Premi\u00e8res Nations \u2014, j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 stup\u00e9fi\u00e9e par la complexit\u00e9, les difficult\u00e9s et la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 constante de proc\u00e9der \u00e0 des consultations et d'obtenir des conseils juridiques, avec les co\u00fbts que cela entra\u00eene. Nous avons eu des d\u00e9m\u00eal\u00e9s avec la SCHL au sujet des hypoth\u00e8ques. Les banques et les avocats y perdent leur latin. Toute transaction envisag\u00e9e sur les terres des Premi\u00e8res Nations, peu importe la r\u00e9gion, s'accompagne d'un fardeau constant. Cette situation fait fuir les d\u00e9veloppeurs ext\u00e9rieurs parce que les risques encourus sont de loin sup\u00e9rieurs \u00e0 ceux qu'ils assument normalement. </p>"
