Regional Chief, I share with you your concerns about the Indian Act and the cut-off. I know we've had conversations about this, and I've had conversations with the national chief.
We passed Bill C-15 on UNDRIP, which has article 33. It says:
Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions. This does not impair the right of indigenous individuals to obtain citizenship of the States in which they live.
Bill C-15 has now received royal assent, and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is the law. We believe that this is the law in Canada.
Has the AFN tabled any kind of resolution to assist the government in determining a better system to determine status, moving forward?
