Thank you, Mr. Chair.
On September 12, 2007, more than 143 countries endorsed the Human Rights Council's recommendation to extend human rights and fundamental freedoms with UNDRIP. I find it simply amazing that the most vulnerable bottom of global humanity was able to find so many allies within the United Nations.
Ms. Gunn, I know you have long experience with going to the United Nations yourself, establishing the UNDRIP handbook and creating awareness around it. Can you speak to what the significance of UNDRIP is? Have any of the issues been raised around the economic catastrophes that people continue to speak of in these 143 other countries that decided to give indigenous people the minimum human rights in the world?
