Thank you very much, Minister.

Since we had this discussion, a lot of the first nations testified that it's unfortunate, within the Indian Act, that there's a second-generation cut-off. Is there any wiggle room in it so that you can report back to this committee on progress to make sure that we're looking at article 33 in UNDRIP for the first nations as well?
