First, I'm going to thank Hayden.
You can go and catch your school bus now, Hayden. You can disconnect and head off. Thanks.
On the question of the intergenerational effects that this could have, as you heard my son say, he knows where he came from. He has been raised within a Métis community. His ancestors before him knew who they were. Canada formally recognized us. With Canada delaying this, it puts into question—as Hayden just spoke—who we are as a people. Are we a real people? We know that we are. We are recognized in the Constitution, yet Canada is delaying formally recognizing our inherent right to self-government.
You need to move forward and treat us equitably.
