Just to respond to Mr. Carr—and perhaps I didn't necessarily realize this till Mr. Schintz pointed it out—clause 20, on the amendment to the schedule, says:
is satisfied that the Métis government set out in that column 1 or set out in column 1 opposite that information has consented to the amendment or removal.
That is a bit of a challenge. I think I'm happy to leave the schedule as it is, provided there could be other groups added to it, but that isn't the case if clause 20 is how Mr. Schintz said it is. Perhaps we have to go back and have a look at that.
I had an amendment that would have put additions in there. We talked about this at that point in time, but we never had any discussion about consent of. We said additions are alluded to in the word “amend”—because I wanted to put “add, amend or remove”—but are they?
Mr. Carr, I hope for a response from you around how we rationalize that.
