Todd, I'm happy to come back at any time.

I think the parliamentarians' guide to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will be very helpful on this, and then maybe we can talk about it, or you might want to bring Willie Littlechild and all the people who were involved in writing that guide. I think we have a lot of work to do on this together.
