Thank you for the question, Mr. Lemire.
Bill C-53 is a piece of legislation this committee studied. I want to thank the committee for the work it did. I know it wasn't an easy conversation. There were many dynamics there.
At this point in the journey of Bill C-53, I would reluctantly say that it may be hard for this bill to continue in its current form. As you know, there was a court decision relating to the Métis Nation of Alberta. There was also a decision by the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan to pull out of that process. Consequently, I'm respecting those two separate but related conclusions. As a result, Bill C-53 will not be moving forward.
