Thank you for that.
There's been a lot of talk about this being the first step for Métis. I was listening to the discussion yesterday and the ceremony for the Saskatchewan Métis, and you said that this is a historic starting place and that we have a lot more to do as a government to get fulfillment of Métis rights.
My understanding of Bill C-53 is that this is all about internal governance that's for the Métis, and nowhere does it mention land or resources. Also, nowhere in BillC-53 does it recognize that any parts of lands or resources would be in jeopardy or trigger a duty to consult. Is that your understanding as well?
