Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Romeo, if I can come back to you, some concerns have been raised about section 2(2), the non-derogation clause, and that it would maintain the status quo in respect to the doctrine of discovery and the notion of terra nullius that have been used against indigenous peoples. Is that your understanding of this clause?
