Thank you.
I have what may be a bit more of a technical question.
The legislation refers to “First Nations”. However, in the section that provides definitions of terms, “First Nations” is not in there. I presume we simply use the section 35 definition of “First Nations”.
I'm curious about when we refer to first nations in the bill. Does that mean first nations as members of a collective, first nations as governing bodies or each individual first nations person?
The reason I ask is that, if there is disagreement among first nations individuals in a first nations community governed by a first nations body, who is it the legislation is referring to in that instance? Is it the governing body that has the right, or is it the individual?
I hope that made sense.
