The purpose of this amendment is to amend clause 6 by adding after line 25 on page 5, the following:
(2) for greater certainty the rights referred to in subsection (1) include the following rights of indigenous peoples:
(a) the right to reclaim, revitalize, use, develop, strengthen and transmit to present and future generations their histories, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and literatures;
(b) the right to designate and retain their own names for communities, places and persons;
(c) the right to establish their own media in their own languages;
(d) the right not to be subjected to forced assimilation or destruction of their culture; and
(e) the right to enter into agreements with the Government of Canada or with provincial governments, including agreements to further the purposes of this act.
Those are, essentially, the changes we wanted to make.
Are there any questions?
