The clerk says I could be challenged. I'm sure I am being challenged in more ways than one.

I want to put on the record that the work brought forward by the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs is substantial. If we approve this bill on indigenous child welfare, it will do nothing but help the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and Grand Chief Arlen Dumas to bring forward their own laws on indigenous child welfare for their jurisdiction and for their nation.
I commend Mr. Viersen for his attempt to incorporate it into our bill, but our bill will do nothing but help what Mr. Dumas and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs are trying to do.

We're all hoping this is going to help the situation, for sure.
Shall the preamble carry?

That was a very good job. Thank you to everybody for slogging through that. There was a lot of substantial discussion and a lot of amendments. I want to thank everyone for participating in a collegial manner.
We are adjourned.
