I just wanted to speak to the comment Mr. Viersen made about membership in different Métis governments.
I think it was very clear from the witnesses who presented to us that it's up to them to decide who their membership is. As a Métis person, I have had the opportunity to join different Métis governments.
I think the concern is that people who are registered with one government and also with another will get services and benefits from both. I believe—maybe the officials can speak to this—that there is a really clear procedure to follow. For enrolment, family trees and everything else has to be provided so that the government knows exactly who its members are. You cannot be a beneficiary of two settlements or two treaties.
Maybe the officials could speak to that.
Once you register and sign up with one government, you cannot join another one and get the same kind of treatment and benefits, whether it's services, a financial benefit or whatever the case may be.
