Well, thank you very much, wela'lin . I am on the unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq, “the people of the dawn”, here in Nova Scotia. Thank you very much for recognizing the importance of the terrible residential schools that were so burdensome to so many first nations people. This summer, the former Shubenacadie school was made a national site so that we do not forget what happened there. I have to say that so many Mi'kmaq people suffered, and it becomes then, of course, generational trauma and suffering that goes through all the families. I think this is a very important step towards truth and reconciliation in coming together to accept and take responsibility for what the Crown has done in the past and what we don't want to do in the future.
I'm curious as to when in fact we will be introducing, for instance, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. I believe that this will reconfirm our commitment to ensuring self-determination for the first nations, the Inuit and the Métis, and how central that is to our nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown and government-to-government relationship.
Minister Bennett, would you like to address that issue?
