I have something to say about CPC-10.

This is part of a whole series of amendments that I put forward. I asked the drafters to change “Métis collectivities” to “Métis communities” throughout the bill. I think this is one of the places where that is not really.... I see how the drafters understood me and did that. They just did a “control F” for “collectivities”. This is one place where it doesn't necessarily make sense to change it to “communities”, as I did in some of the other places.

I will not move CPC-10.
