Thank you.

Thank you very much for your powerful presentations. Thank you, Clément Chartier, for being in St. Boniface on Friday morning for the commemoration of Riel's execution.

I only have five minutes, so I'm going to ask a few important questions, and I want to go back and forth.

First, this is a private member's bill that names the holiday as National Indigenous Peoples Day.

Are you suggesting, Marie, that the day should be named “the national day of truth and reconciliation”?
