Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses today. I know you're coming here very much with the desire to ensure that we have a transparent and good code, so I appreciate that.
My first question is for Mr. Metatawabin. I had a campaign volunteer who is indigenous. She's the daughter of a sixties scoop member, so she didn't have a lot of opportunity growing up to learn her culture.
She volunteered on my campaign and brought a lot of wisdom to the campaign. We had a blanket ceremony. Not just me, but other members of my team learned tremendously from her. Then, after the election, she had always wanted to return to her tribe where she had never lived, actually, and one of the only ways to do that was through being a government relations person. There was one spot. Somebody had had it for 25 years. It comes open very rarely. She was offered that and she did take that position so that she could learn her roots.
Under the way that this new code is proposed, would she have had to turn down that lifetime opportunity?
This is for Mr. Metatawabin.
