Thank you very much for that. That liability piece, we'll be addressing, I think, in the clause-by-clause portion of this as well.

I have such little time. I'm going to try to get to all the witnesses. For the technical committee, I really hear you on the treaty piece specifically, and I know that if we had just respected treaties, we wouldn't even be in this situation right now.

Would you expect that the inherent rights affirmed in clause 6 of this bill fall under the inherent rights the Supreme Court recently upheld in their ruling on Bill C-92 earlier this year?
