Thank you, Chair.
I want to thank you all for taking time to be here with us, and I want to recognize your community members back there as well. They all came to be part of this process this week, and that shows the importance of the journey for everybody.
I've said a few times as we've framed our discussions in these hearings around this piece of legislation that this is a very significant or even defining moment in our history. We are really determined and we're trying to get it right to make sure we determine the right outcome, not just for Métis people but for all Canadians.
I'm going to start with you, President Lamouche, and with Vice-President Blyan if she wants to be in on this discussion as well.
President, in your comments, you talked about overlap and a lack of clarity, and you talked about looking for that specific clarity that would maybe give you some comfort with this legislation. I know we've had conversations in the past about some of the specific aspects of the February agreement with the Métis Nation of Alberta, and the government has talked about some clarity around citizenship and about how there's nothing in this agreement that impacts Métis settlements.
Can you clarify for us what your concerns are or flesh out the overlap or the lack of clarity that is troubling you on this?
