Again, I'm here today to talk about our government and our registry system. I didn't come here today representing the Métis National Council. I'm here today representing the Otipemisiwak Métis Government.
I'm also here with many of the elected officials under our Otipemisiwak Métis Government, and I just want to thank them right now for attending tonight and being here to support Mr. Tomlinson and me. We are here because this matters to us, and you can't speak about indigenous identity without indigenous governments at this table.
