Mr. Daniel Ricard (Director General, Litigation Management and Resolution Branch, Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) at the Indigenous and Northern Affairs Committee

Thank you.

I'll just say that I think that is a fair assumption. In fact, as the representatives from the commission mentioned when they came, they have created an aboriginal subgroup within the commission's internal structure with a view precisely to work on that front. I think it is a fair assumption that much work will be done in advance of the repeal being effective with respect to first nations.
