I know that our Métis government partners, when they've been up here as witnesses, spoke about this process better than we can, because, really, the Métis governments are responsible for maintaining the registries. Those registries rely on, in the case of Ontario, seven historic Métis communities. Those registries are audited by an independent third party.
While the agreement that was signed in February of this year and the legislation don't explicitly recognize those seven historic Métis communities, there is an acknowledgement in the appendix to the 2023 agreement that says the Province of Ontario and the MNO jointly acknowledge and recognize those seven historic communities.
We rely on that work of the MNO. We rely on the MNO to maintain the registry. We rely on the auditing to confirm that the Powley test has been met, and we respect the jurisdiction of our partners to do that work.
