Madam Chair, I will be sharing my time with my colleague Mr. Vandal.
My first question is for Mr. Chartrand.
In her testimony last week, Melanie Omeniho, President of the Women of the Métis Nation, told us that jurisdictional issues meant that Métis children fell through the cracks, particularly because some have been identified as indigenous people of unknown origin.
Have you often seen cases like that in the Métis communities you represent? Can you tell us about the magnitude of this phenomenon? Do you think the bill is sufficiently clear about jurisdiction to improve the care of Métis children?
