I think the Native Women's Association of Canada and the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples of Canada are in the same situation. We are specialized organizations, and we represent people across Canada. However, we are being shut out by not being allowed to be part of an organization like that, which is crucial for us. We are a voice across Canada for indigenous people living off reserve. We represent virtually every indigenous nation, and we do tremendous work with them. We believe that both organizations should be at this table.
