On November 21, my question to the department was on the proposed amendments to the Indian registration to comply with the Descheneaux decision and to eliminate all known sex-based inequities. I asked if they were confident that we have taken care of this as an issue, and the response was yes. But we're hearing that the response should have been no, because the Indigenous Bar Association and others have said that it doesn't deal with all the known sex-based inequities. We've heard that from many, many witnesses, that this does not deal with it.
