Thank you for that, Minister.

We've talked about how we're trying to be consistent with UNDRIP, especially article 33, which gives nations the ability to determine who their own membership is. Is Bill C-53 consistent with UNDRIP as written? Can you talk a bit about some of the things that we did put in place to make sure that we are consistent with UNDRIP?
