A good question. Again, Kukpi7 Wayne is going to be here later on today to talk about jurisdiction. That's for that territory in British Columbia. Even our Assembly of First Nations has our charter. You have one national chief. I'm not a grand chief. I'm a national chief elected by the 634, and 60% of the chiefs have to vote for me. I have 10 regional chiefs, and they're elected by the provinces and territories. How colonial is that? Are we even structured by nations? No. Are we structured by treaty territories? No, but it's starting to move.
Treaty 1 is getting organized, the Grand Council of Treaty 3, and then we brought Treaty 4 together. Our jurisdiction extends not only in the Province of Saskatchewan. We don't have a regional director general for Treaty 4. We have a regional director general for Saskatchewan region for our Indian Affairs department, our ISC department. You have your 10 RDGs.
Everything is set up by provincial and territorial government boundaries and doesn't take into consideration ancestral lands, treaty lands, treaty territories, so there needs to be a monumental shift in that. That's not going to be addressed in this. This bill is to facilitate a coming together of governments, to respect each others' jurisdiction. That's what this is speaking to. For example, July 8, 9 and 10 is the COF, the Council of the Federation. The premiers are coming together.
I mentioned earlier on that a few years back I got the premiers of Canada to agree to focus on one item, and that was child welfare. This bill is going to facilitate that further dialogue and a coming together to work out jurisdictions, whether you're in Treaty 4 or Treaty 1 or Treaty 7. That's what this is about. That's a transformational shift that has to happen. Get down to the table and work it out. It's not going to be easy, but at least this will facilitate that to happen province by province. At some point we will have a Treaty 4 government that extends jurisdiction throughout our Treaty 4 lands. We're not there yet, but it's a good suggestion. That's where I keep urging our people to go.
