Thank you all for your presentations.
My first questions are for Ms. Metallic.
On Tuesday, when the committee last met, Laurie Sargent, from the Department of Justice, explained that this was a novel piece of legislation. It's one of the first to recognize the rights of indigenous peoples pursuant to section 35 of the Constitution. She said there was little in the way of relevant case law.
Could you give us a bit more detail on the constitutional legality of delegating jurisdiction over child welfare to indigenous communities themselves?
