With my amendment, I was more imagining individuals. When I say “Métis peoples”, I'm not....

When I sent this in to the drafters, it was about that competing Métis identification, about an individual having Métis identification through the MNA and then through their local settlement or the Métis of Cadotte. That's not land-based at all. It's a local collective, I guess. It's both broader and narrower in that sense. Is that not correct?
