Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us today.
We've heard from a number of witnesses in the past few meetings, and they raised an array of issues. Métis representatives often referred to the Constitution. Witnesses spoke about section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, discussions with provincial governments and the challenges indigenous people face. Ms. Chartrand, for instance, told us about how people have to choose between their health and basic needs such as shelter. We also heard about the inequity.
What are the reasons behind that persistent inequity?
The question is for all of the witnesses.
