Thank you, Chair.

Thank you, witnesses.

I want to continue with the conversation we were just having that Ms. Gazan brought up.

We, as legislators, have to examine every piece of legislation—not every piece of legislation is perfect—and we have to vote yes or no on the words of the legislation.

We have seen many organizations come forward that are concerned about the lack of a definition of FPIC.

Mr. Obed, I want to clarify—and I appreciate your comments—whether the ITK is satisfied that if Bill C-15 were to pass, it would meet the UNDRIP requirement found in article 19?
