I will tackle that question if you don't mind. The other panellists can as well.
When it comes to the piece of legislation, again we are still left out because of the distinctions-based approach of the government. They look specifically at rights under section 35. According to the way things are now, I'm a registered Mi'kmaq; I'm status; but because of where I choose to live they're telling me and other members of my organization and the constituency of the congress that we are not rights bearers.
My concern with this piece of legislation is with what they're going to be leaving out. This legislation reaffirms that indigenous peoples have rights—treaty rights, aboriginal rights, other rights—but I'm really not for this unless this government makes it available to and talks about all indigenous peoples. Right now that is not happening.
I'm not sure if I answered your question or not.
