Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Chief Poitras, for your excellent remarks. I really appreciate the thought that went into those. I took a lot of notes. I have a number of questions that I'd love your perspective on.
On what you touched on a bit at the end, I wasn't familiar with or aware of the recommendation from the AFN for the oath change. I found it very interesting. It's much different from what the government has put forward. I know that in call 94, as everyone knows—just for the purposes of the committee, I'll state it again—it was going to be just four extra words, “including Treaties with Indigenous Peoples”. Now we have “including the Constitution, which recognizes and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis”, and then it goes on to finish.
I just wanted to get your thoughts generally. Do you like how it's being put forward now? Would you perhaps want a different change somewhere between what you put forward and what's there now? I just wanted general comments on how you think it looks and if you think it's good to move forward.
