Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you to the minister for coming here this evening. I really appreciate it.

In my riding and in David's riding we have a unique situation, in that we had a settlement with the Alberta government and the Métis people back in 1938, and it gave the Métis people their own land. I'm just wondering what, in your view, constitutes a Métis nation and how will it affect these communities that are in my riding?
