Can I just add one point?

I think part of the question was whether or not this legislation coming into force or the core governance treaties that we'll be negotiating as a next step would change in any way the requirement of first nations. They gave testimony that they've had to do some amount of consulting with Métis governments already. The status quo that exists before this legislation and after this legislation would not change in that respect.
