Mahsi Cho, Mr. Kinew.
I'm from the Northwest Territories. That's my riding. I represent five indigenous first nation regions in the Northwest Territories and one Inuvialuit. We certainly, as well, have very strong Métis people in the Northwest Territories.
I agree with your sentiments. We're dealing here with a private member's bill that was brought forward. It's not even a government bill. What we have here is that the individual has brought forward a bill, hasn't demonstrated consultation with first nations, and really is, as you said, occupying a lot of our committee time here that could well be put to other purposes.
Do you think it would be appropriate for us now to simply put forward a motion to Parliament to withdraw this bill?
