Thank you very much for the question.
I would say that extensive consultation has been ongoing. In fact, we've had a concerted and direct outreach with Treaty 6, Treaty 7 and Treaty 8 nations, which do not feel that AFN represents their voices. We have worked with them both at the political level—myself, with direct consultations with those chiefs—and with the department. We have had numerous meetings and consultations, listening to ideas from that region to make sure that their thoughts and perspectives were included.
We've historically published online a draft of the legislation and the approach to the legislation so that people could have access all across the country. We've held hundreds of consultations. We've held coast-to-coast tours. The AFN has held coast-to-coast tours, as well as Canada.
I would say that we are continuing to listen, just as you are. We have heard some very strong ideas about how to improve the bill. Those are important. As I've said publicly in the House and elsewhere, we are very open to amendments that strengthen the legislation. We'll continue to listen to partners—
