Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for appearing here today.

I noticed on page 4 of the report we received today, The Struggle for Equal Rights for First Nations Children in Child Welfare, that you have a strong section there about the Indian Act. I think all of us are certainly aware that this act has been around for a long time and needs major change, or to be completely removed.

For my purposes of learning, I would be interested in how you would proceed in eliminating some of these discriminatory principles that certainly apply here. So I'd like some input from you on that. How you would proceed with it?
