Yes. I want to take a moment to say that I understand why there's so much discussion around the schedule, and I certainly understand what the committee is trying to achieve. As to the terminology that's found in the schedule, these are the terms that these governments use for themselves. For example, the Métis Nation of Alberta represents about 56,000 Métis individuals in Alberta. They've chosen them as their government. They recently voted on a constitution that was overwhelmingly passed, and these are the terms they use in their constituting documents to describe themselves and the way they're structured, both as rights holders and as governments.
We've used the terms that these governments use for themselves. We think this is befitting of self-determination.
I just want to say one more time that regardless of whether or not these terms were changed, no group is having these governments imposed on them. Any individual Métis community has the ability to represent itself, to advocate for its rights. Changes to this terminology will not change that. What it will do is remove the ability of these governments to see their own way of describing themselves reflected in this bill, which is meant to recognize them.
