Thank you for that, Mr. Chair.

I'd also like to acknowledge all of the Métis leaders gathered in this room for this historic day who are here sharing this day with you.

I know that in September we celebrated 20 years since the Powley decision. I'm wondering if you could share with this committee what Powley stated and what Powley was about, as well as how the Powley case defined who was Métis.

See context to find out what was said next.
