[Inuktitut text interpreted as follows:]
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, what you are saying here is that it's always a struggle for us indigenous people, for Inuit and first nations. We have been put through real hardships, and that is so true. The Métis people have also had struggles and hardships similar to what we have suffered. When our rights are mentioned in Canada, it means all people. It means Inuit, first nations and Métis.
With that consideration, it seems that Métis rights should also be honoured. I understand what you are saying and I know that it's been a struggle, but we need to live in peace and work together again. If the bill is passed, would you be willing to work together alongside the Métis nations as well?
