That's a really good point. Yes, I think that there could be, under this council, perhaps some kind of report, like a report card, that this council could undertake as part of its work, but in terms of the larger question around rights—first nation rights, inherent rights, aboriginal rights, indigenous rights— I think we require a constitutional table. We need to meet with this government. We need to finish the constitutional talks that happened in the 1980s, to talk about section 35 and to talk about these rights and how they are being neglected. We need a special table for that, in my view.
