With all due respect, I think this bill has been a long time coming. We have been self-governing and we have engaged in these conversations for a long time, so I think some of those questions might be better answered by some of the technical team. I'm not here to speak about some of the concerns around the processes, but I can speak to how this has affected young people and the dire need to have young people's voices included in our self-government.
That's exactly what this bill is going to do. It will ensure that young people are empowered in those dialogues because, right now.... I think of our funding agreements and how they're heavily reliant on federal and provincial funds. At any time, in theory, they could be yanked. However, if we are in the conversation, we get to determine how funds are spent and spent in a way that is representative of Métis people.
