Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I'm intrigued with this subject, and the presentations you've made have certainly given me a lot of really varying thoughts about how this should be handled.
The message I'm hearing from you is that the first nations leaders are supportive of repealing the section; that's generally what I'm hearing. And yet, Mr. Slavik, you mentioned that there was an individual who said “Another nail in our coffin”. I would think they would be supportive of this and would say, “Great, we're glad this is happening”.
Can you speculate for me, or did he tell you, why he characterized it in that way?
