I believe that, in reference to reconciliation and moving forward, it's not fair, as stated by Ms. McGregor.
I want to note another example.
In our first nations communities, after a second generation of one native parent and one non-native parent, we lose our rights. This becomes a huge issue. Ask every Canadian. Fifty per cent of Canadians are going to say they're Métis—that they're half aboriginal or descendants. My concern, at the end of the day, is about the money that will be used for indigenous people in Canada to ensure they are direct descendants, not 10 generations down. It's not fair to us. We have to stop after the second generation. Our children are not recognized. Where is the fairness in that?
There's no accountability for membership under the Métis. I truly believe they have rights, but to what extent? Are you going to put half of Canada on their list?
Thank you.
