Thank you for that. My question is for the representatives under AFN.
Several times during this committee, we've heard from first nations that this legislation grants rights. I heard the interim national chief saying the same thing, about granting rights that first nations do not have.
When asking the presidents of the organizations, they all said that this is about internal governance—it's not about land; it's not about resources, and it's not about anything where they would have to go to court.
I've often challenged first nations to show where in the legislation these rights that are being conferred to land or resources exist.
As the advocate group for first nations across Canada, can the national chief or her legal counsel point to the clause in which we grant rights to lands or resources through this legislation?
