Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate the information you bring to us.
I have a couple of questions.
The provinces and territories have their own human rights commissions, so first nations people on reserves would then, in effect, become the only Canadians who have access to the Canadian Human Rights Commission for complaints against community governance. Is there any reason why a tribal council or a provincial organization couldn't set up their own human rights codes and commissions and provide the rights protection more effectively than having Canada's national commission deal with what is essentially a local matter, a local concern?
