Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The oath makes reference to the Constitution. Now, I'm a bit curious about why that is. It looks to me like a fairly elegant way of putting a reference to the indigenous population and the rights of the indigenous population into the oath.
We've already heard suggestions from the Bloc—I don't know if all of you were on the previous call—that they want removal of the reference to the Constitution. I wonder what the people from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission think about the reference to the Constitution. Mr. Obed's proposed wording would not have a reference to the Constitution. Is there a need for a reference to the Constitution? Is that desirable?
Ms. Wesley-Esquimaux, I think you mentioned the reference to the Constitution—I thought in a fairly approving way—but maybe you could tell me what you think about that reference.
