As the negotiator for the Manitoba Métis Federation as well, I can say that their intention is to have their own bill. There are something like 26 implementing statutes for self-government agreements in modern treaties that exist, and in general, they are specific to individual governments that have negotiated on their own terms and in a manner befitting their own vision of self-determination.
These three governments have chosen to advance self-government together. We detailed some of that history in the preamble and some of the negotiations that have led to this point.
The intention of this bill is to recognize those three governments, and just to say it one last time, other governments have every right and ability to come forward to the Government of Canada to negotiate similar recognition. They're not all generally put into one piece of legislation.
