[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you, Mr. Chairperson.
Thank you to the witnesses. It is always a pleasure to hear what you have to say and to hear the youth as well. The young man delivered his speech really well.
Theresa, I am so proud of your son. Although he is still going to high school, he is already showing signs of leadership.
I want to ask every one of you if you can respond to my question.
If Bill C-53 is passed, in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan, when the Métis have their own government, when you have self-government, you will be able to pass bylaws. What kind of legislation would you like to see in the constitution? As a self-governing people in Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan, what kind of legislation would you like to see for Métis to be able to govern themselves?
[English]
What kinds of laws would you like those self-governing nations to make? We're assuming that by having self-government that will naturally lead to those self-governments making laws. What kinds of laws would you like to see those nations making that will have impacts on Métis peoples in each of the nations that will be impacted?
