Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is the second time we welcome a group made up only of women. It's cause for celebration. Thank you for your work, and welcome to this committee.
My question is for Ms. Robertson.
You might not be aware that in the New Zealand Parliament, there are seats reserved exclusively for Aboriginal persons. Only Aboriginal people can vote for those reserved seats. Aboriginal people can also run for a party in the other districts, in regular elections. New Zealand is the only country in the world where Aboriginal people have a proportion of MPs equivalent to their population.
What do you think about the system used in New Zealand? Would it be a good idea for Canada?
