If I understand correctly, you're asking about the difference between the two non-derogation clauses and whether they affect the interpretation. While it's not for me to provide legal advice to the committee, I can say that I know that NDP 4.2 is more specific to Métis collectivities. It is possible that it could impact interpretation, but again, it's not for me to advise on how a court would necessarily determine how those non-derogation clauses would be different.
