Yes. I wish to continue the discussion that Mr. Schmale raised on establishing a subcommittee.
I had spoken to some of the parties and I think we have support to move forward with this. One of the first things about being on the Indigenous and northern affairs committee is understanding the terminology, the correct and most respectful processes whereby we can move forward as a committee.
I have floated as an idea to the other parties that we start off with a historic first as our first meeting in January and have a training session. One of the greatest examples that I have seen used is the Kairos blanket exercise. That is an interactive tool whereby we can learn about and go through cultural sensitivity, as well as training and education on indigenous history and indigenous terminology. I think it has been well received across Canada. I look to the parties to see if we can start off our meeting in January with that kind of training session.
We look to the establishment of a subcommittee to iron out the details of how we move forward on that. Based on what we've heard lately, with some of the things that are around, I think it's good to have a subcommittee that can meet and discuss this, but also, I understand, there is the option of virtual training sessions.
I think both of those things would be very beneficial for this committee. I look to the other parties for their support in moving forward in this historic first to open our minds and our hearts before we start into motions on areas of studies—first to learn and to hear.
