Thank you, Mr. Chair. My questions will be directed to Chief Price.
First of all, Chief Price, let me congratulate you and your family on your son's accomplishments in Sweden a few weeks back. I know all Canadians were proud of those accomplishments, although surely not as proud as you are.
I also want to acknowledge positively your recognition of your spiritual culture and values. I really believe our country is better served when we recognize those foundations. I was particularly pleased, at the launch of the polar year just a few week back, to see the Inuit elders asked to lead in the prayer at the beginning and the end of that service, and I commend you for that.
My questions are related to the interpretive clause and the phrases that have been put forward here. I think there are six of them. My concern would be with the number of different cultures that aboriginal communities reflect. There would be a large variety of issues. Would an interpretive clause be able to cover all of the what-ifs within the different cultures that exist?
Secondly, has this proposal in schedule B been put to the test in terms of putting it past the Canadian Human Rights Commission for comment, in terms of whether this might create problems or not?
Could you address those, please?
