I will answer that quickly, and I'll offer the rest of the time to my friend and colleague next to me. We just sat with Minister Bennett in Ottawa in the last couple of days and we had this discussion.
It's very important to recognize that the years of colonialism and institutional oppression that the Indian Act has created has built a bureaucratic empire that has pretty much overpowered our people. In the nation-to-nation relationship going forward, it will be important for this current government to recognize that it is not going to be able to do everything quickly and that there are processes we need to follow.
We are suggesting strongly that enabling legislation be put in place to give statutory certainty that this change will occur and that any successive governments will be held to account under a law designed to dismantle the Indian Act as it pertains to the split in politics and administration of the current department.
