Thank heavens I'm number two and not number three or four, because with one paragraph here it's getting harder to ask new questions. Ms. Dancho stole both my questions. I thought after the first, I still have the second one. Then she went on to ask the second one, too, so I'm really ticked off here. I'm hunting. Even more complicated is that, as Chief Poitras has already said with respect to the issue of including a reference to the Constitution, it doesn't seem as though the Assembly of First Nations wants to die on this hill. It's okay with reference to the Constitution.
My understanding is that aboriginal rights are inherent rights. The Constitution, in reference to aboriginal rights in section 35, is pretty broad. It's been years since I went to law school, but as I recall, the Constitution is a growing tree, so the definition can evolve over time. I would have thought the reference to the Constitution would be more inclusive and more desirable than being limited to that wording.
Maybe you can just confirm that you're okay with the reference to the Constitution. I think that's the big question before committee, and I know the Bloc doesn't really want it there.
