Thank you, Mr. Chair.
So I will ask my questions anyway, even if Minister Bennett is not back with us.
First of all, I must thank her for being here. I also want to emphasize that I would like Minister Lametti to have taken part in our meeting.
As a Bloc Québécois MP, I would like her, as a lawmaker, to explain her intention as to the presumed or real effects of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights Indigenous Peoples on the jurisdictions of Quebec and the provinces.
I would ask Minister Bennett if she can reassure us. In fact, since the beginning of the study, a lot of myths and assumptions, which may or may not be accurate, have been spread as to the consequences of passing this bill.
I would like to hear what she has to say about passing this bill. I would also like her to reassure us that it will not mean federal government interference into the jurisdictions of Quebec and the provinces.
