Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As one of my colleagues said earlier, there are certainly difficult questions. The witnesses touched on myths earlier, and I'd like to raise one myth that relates to what Mr. McLeod just spoke about.
On one hand, he said that there was some concern that there would be a meteoric growth in membership, a concern to which the witnesses responded. On the other hand, there are people who define themselves as Métis, but refuse to recognize the structures, even those of the Métis, and who, as a result, say they are excluded from their own nation. I don't know the reasons behind this, and we should ask them. If any of these people appear before the committee, I will, of course, ask them.
We've talked about advocating inclusion rather than division. We may not be discussing treaties here, but how can Bill C‑53 dispel those fears?
I don't know who would like to answer. I saw Ms. LeClair and Ms. Froh nodding.
