Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome to the representatives.
With respect to some of the efforts that are happening off-reserve as well as integrating, hopefully, some efforts with the expertise from on reserve to off reserve, I have the following comments.
In Niagara we have a process called Landscape of Nations 360. We've established 10 essential undertakings as we're moving forward with indigenous education and, therefore, languages.
Mr. Bellegarde, with respect to, first, finding out if we're going in the right direction, and second, trying to attach an action to the overall legislation network to move it forward, some the themes that we established included the following: indigenous peoples' cultures, including languages; time continuity and change; people, places and environments; individual development and identity; individuals, groups and institutions; power, authority and governance; production, distribution and consumption; nature, science and technology in society; global connections; and civic ideals and practices. A lot of this has been discussed in your presentation.
To attach an action to this overall legislation what would be some of your thoughts for both on reserve as well as off reserve?
