Thank you for that question.
I'm very well aware of those communities and of the issues that they face.
I think with the regulations that are being developed, in regard to the not-for-profit organizations, if it's limited to first nations then we have a problem. However, I think there might be some openness to “indigenous” as a definition. If we can keep that in mind when we're working on the regulations that would really help. Other than that, we'll have to continue working to expand the definition to include Métis.
We can keep that in mind for the regulations, keeping it as “indigenous” rather than strictly “first nation”.
