Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister.
Thank you to the officials.
It's a pleasure to have you with us today for this very important bill.
Minister, we've heard from witnesses—and some of these concerns have been reiterated just now by some of my colleagues in the room—about the impact on the rights of other indigenous peoples. Could you elaborate in a way that would perhaps reassure on the specific steps that would be completed before a self-government treaty with each of the Métis governments could be put into effect through this proposed legislation?
