No, there isn't, but we haven't had a platform whereby we can contribute to a report that goes to Parliament to deal with these issues before. That will come from this legislation. I think that's important. That was part of the reason I accepted the invitation to come here.
To me, reconciliation talks about section 35. There are a lot of impacts that we have experienced as a result of colonization, and we have to deal with those issues. They're very severe, and I don't want to diminish them at all, but we have to look forward. What does the world look like when we have recognition of section 35 and we have reconciliation? What do we have on the ground today, and what do we have to change?
That was the purpose of my coming here today. It is to say to parliamentarians that you're going to get a report. The responsibilities will then flow to you on what those reports say, and it's going to be up to you to make the changes that are going to be required to implement reconciliation and recognition in section 35. This is going to happen in part through indigenous communities, but the result is that you are going to have to make decisions to systemically change the relationship to create capacity and institutional infrastructure in first nation communities that they can manage. If we're not talking about that, it is another broken promise.
