Thank you.
Yesterday, the national chief contacted me to ask me to remove their amendments due to the time it is taking to amend Bill C-61. I respect the will of the AFN and I respectfully withdraw those amendments. I will, however, keep the amendments submitted by independent first nations out of respect for their jurisdiction over their lands, territories and resources.
I will be removing these amendments: NDP-37, NDP-42, NDP-43, NDP-46, NDP-48, NDP-49, NDP-57, NDP-58, NDP-61, NDP-63, NDP-66, NDP-75, NDP-79, NDP-2 and NDP-3.
