I clearly believe that, definitely, there have been a lot of struggles for the Métis, but it's all because of non-recognition. Recognition is one of the key pieces. Of course, that's what we've been pushing with our self-government agreements.
We believe that we all need to work together. This is our country, Canada, made up of all of us, but certainly all indigenous people have to be recognized and respected.
For us here in Alberta, we always say, “Yes, we're Métis, but we're Albertans and we're Canadians. When we do something that's right for Métis, it's also right for Albertans and Canadians.” It's really about the relationship, the working together and the recognition that will make us all move forward further together.
Thank you.
