For greater certainty, nothing in this Act is to be construed as abrogating or derogating from the right to self-determination of Métis collectivities that are not represented by a Métis government set out in column 1 of the schedule, including the inherent right of self-government recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.
We had some conversations with stakeholders as well as with the NDP, and we feel that this could be made clearer with a paragraph amendment: “For greater certainty, nothing in this Act is to be construed as abrogating or derogating from the right to self-determination of a Métis collectivity that has not authorized a Métis government set out in column 1 of the schedule to the act, on behalf of, including respecting the inherent right to self-government recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act.”
That's a long way of saying that we would rather see that change in NDP-4.2, and that's why we will be voting against.
